Descripción

Current Brazilian sheep production systems involve low technology practices activity when compared with cattle, pig and poultry farming. The development and application of methods to aid traceability, parentage and individual identification are highly desired. A panel of low density SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) markers was identified from a group of 49,034 SNPs markers genotyped with the Illumina SheepSNP50 Bead Chip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) in three Brazilian breeds (Brazilian Creole, Morada Nova and Santa Ines), which were included in the International Sheep Genome Consortium.
