Forensic parameters for eleven STRs in Angus-Brangus breed from Northwest Colombia

Abstract

Livestock (Bos taurus) is one of the main sources of protein in the human diet, and is one of the major commercial activities worldwide involving billions of dollars annually; Molecular genetics has been involved for decades in the study of this species. In the present work, 339 bovines of the Angus-Brangus breed were STR typified, allelic frequencies and forensic parameters were calculated, and Hardy-Weimberg equilibrium was assesed.
