A set of cattle microsatellite DNA markers for genome analysis of riverine buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).
One hundred and eight microsatellite primer pairs, originally identified from cattle, were evaluated for their applicability in buffalo. Eighty-one primer pairs (75%) amplified discrete products, and of these, 61 pairs (56%) gave polymorphic band patterns on a panel of 25 buffaloes. The mean number of alleles per polymorphic marker was 4.50 +/- 0.20, and the mean heterozygosity per polymorphic marker was 0.66 +/- 0.02. Successful genotyping of buffaloes using cattle specific primers suggests that the latter can be a valuable resource for genome analysis in bubaline species.
