Development of SNP markers identifying European wildcats, domestic cats, and their admixed progeny.

abstract：:Molecular markers have been used to identify the sex of sampled individuals for several decades, but the time-consuming development phase prevented their application in many systems. Recently, a growing number of papers have applied reduced-representation sequencing (RRS) protocols to the identification of sex-specifi...
