Feline non-repetitive mitochondrial DNA control region database for forensic evidence.

摘要: Abstract The domestic cat is the one of most popular pets throughout world. A by-product owning, interacting with, or being in a household with transfer shed fur to clothing personal objects. As trace evidence, transferred relatively untapped resource for forensic scientists. Both phenotypic and genotypic characteristics can be obtained from fur, but databases neither aspect exist. Because cats incessantly groom, may have nucleated cells, not only hair bulb, also as epithelial cells on shaft deposited during grooming process, thereby generally providing material DNA profiling. To effectively exploit resource, representative must established. current study evaluates 402 bp mtDNA control region (CR) 1394 cats, including 25 distinct worldwide populations 26 breeds. Eighty-three percent are represented by 12 major mitotypes. An additional 8.0% clearly derived Unique sequences found 7.5% cats. overall genetic diversity this data set 0.8813 ± 0.0046 random match probability 11.8%. This has discriminatory power suitable application worldwide.
