Good day. First time user.
Hope I'm asking this question correctly.
Can anyone direct me to information which describes the specific functions of each LOCUS? (eg. ETH10, SPS113, etc.)
Thanks

Try UCDavis Vet lab. Most of us know specific loci like coat colour and chondro and maybe PHA, but that's about it. Patti Adams may be able to help as she does a lot of tenderness, etc. testing. Cheers, c.

higgins -
Microsatellite markers (as shown in a Genetic Marker Report or Genotype) are used for animal identification and parentage testing. There are twelve microsatellite markers recognized as “international marker set” which need to be included in all cattle parentage panels for purposes of record exchange between laboratories. It is recommended that 12-14 markers be used routinely. The additional 3-5 markers may vary among laboratories. The “International Marker Set” can be amplified in a single PCR or in two multiplexes, depending upon which other markers are included in the test.
ISAG International Marker Set: BM1818, BM1824, BM2113, ETH003, ETH10, ETH225, INRA23, SPS115, TGLA53, TGLA122, TGLA126, and TGLA227
In addition to the required ISAG markers, UC-DAVIS VGL adds the following markers to its Genetic Marker Reports: BRR, CYP21, RM006, RM067. So all of the cattle identification and/or parentage testing done at UC-Davis VGL uses 16 microsatellite marker values in the analysis or evaluation of parentage.
The ISAG microsatellite markers are used only for cattle identification and/or parentage testing. They do not represent any particular trait or test for any particular quality or production value.
