摘要: We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) and microsatellite analyses to identify canid species, gender, individual genotype in samples containing a large excess of domestic sheep DNA. These methods were then investigate the feasibility identifying predators from saliva on predation wounds. analyzed wound 19 carcasses. Coyote DNA was identified 18 (95%), which 17 contained male coyote (94%) 11 (61%) yielded heterozygous genotypes at ≥1 locus. have promise for genetic identification predators.
