Felid sex identification based on noninvasive genetic samples
Authors:K L PILGRIM  K S MCKELVEY  A E RIDDLE  M K SCHWARTZ
Abstract:We developed two tests for sex identification of felids using y‐chromosome deletions in the zinc‐finger and amelogenin regions. These tests provide positive results for both males and females, while reducing the need to co‐amplify microsatellites to test for DNA quality in hair and scat samples. Furthermore, the y‐chromosome deletions are absent in a wide‐range of prey species; thus, when these tests are used on scat samples, potential contamination caused by prey DNA incidentally extracted, is minimized.
