Objective:
To investigate the polymorphism of 11 canine STR loci.
Methods:
A fluorescent multiplex system with 11 STR loci (PEZ1, PEZ2, PEZ3, PEZ5, PEZ6, PEZ8, PEZ12, FH2010, FH2054, FH2132 and FH2611) was constructed independently and performed to amplify 105 samples from dogs. The character of these loci was analyzed with the PCR data.
Results:
The distributions of genotypes and allele frequencies of 11 STR loci were obtained. The total power of discrimination for the 11 loci in canine population was 0.9999999 and the cumulative probability of exclusion was 0.9330621. The observed heterozygosity and polymorphism information content (PIC) were 0.502 and 0.640, respectively.
Conclusion:
Each of the eleven canine STR loci has a high genetic polymorphism and can be applied for the parentage testing and individual identification. The fluorescent multiplex system is a reliable method in forensic application.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
