title: A parentage evaluation test in North American elk (Wapiti) using microsatellites of ovine and bovine origin.
abstract: DNA microsatellites originally detected in sheep and cattle are also detectable in North American elk (Wapiti) using polymerase chain reactions. We have developed a parentage test in elk using eleven microsatellite markers that are highly polymorphic and informative.
