Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are useful markers for biodiversity assessment,
linkage analysis, traceability and paternity testing. To date, there are no available SNPs for
goat in the NCBI dbSNP database and only a few are reported in the literature. Within the
European Union Econogene project, we characterized 27 SNPs in goats using a targeted-gene
approach. Polymorphisms were identified in a panel of 16 unrelated individuals belonging
to eight different goat breeds selected throughout Europe. Genotypes of 30 goats from each
of the eight breeds were determined for all the SNPs characterized and diversity measures
were estimated. The caprine SNPs described will be a useful complement to the available
genome markers.
