  • An STR Forensic Typing System for Genetic Individualization of Domestic Cat (Felis Catus) Samples∗
    JForensicSci,Sept. 2005, Vol. 50, No. 5 Paper ID JFS2004317 Available online at: www.astm.org Marilyn A. Menotti-Raymond,1 Ph.D.; Victor A. David,1 M.S.; Leslie L. Wachter,2 B.S.; John M. Butler,3 Ph.D.; and Stephen J. O’Brien,1 Ph.D. An STR Forensic Typing System for Genetic Individualization of Domestic Cat (Felis catus) ∗ Samples ABSTRACT: A forensic genotyping panel of 11 tetranucleotide STR loci from the domestic cat was characterized and evaluated for genetic in- dividualization of cat tissues. We first examined 49 candidate STR loci and their frequency assessment in domestic cat populations. The STR loci (3–4 base pair repeat motifs), mapped in the cat genome relative to 579 coding loci and 255 STR loci, are well distributed across the 18 feline autosomes. All loci exhibit Mendelian inheritance in a multi-generation pedigree. Eleven loci that were unlinked and were highly heterozygous in cat breeds were selected for a forensic panel. Heterozygosity values obtained for the independent loci, ranged from 0.60–0.82, while the average cat breed heterozygosity obtained for the 11 locus panel was 0.71 (range of 0.57–0.83). A small sample set of outbred domestic cats displayed a heterozygosity of 0.86 for the 11 locus panel. The power of discrimination of the panel is moderate to high in the cat breeds examined, with an average Pm of 3.7E-06. The panel shows good potential for genetic individualization within outbred domestic cats with a Pm of 5.31E-08. A multiplex protocol, designed for the co-amplification of the 11 loci and a gender-identifying locus, is species specific and robust, generating a product profile with as little as 0.125 nanograms of genomic DNA.

  • Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy
    Selkirk Rex Cat Breeding Policy Guidelines for Healthy & Responsible Breeding 2 Forward This breeding policy has been written to accompany and supplement the Selkirk Rex Registration Policy and should be read in conjunction with that document. If there are any queries regarding either document, these should be referred to the Breed Advisory Committee delegates of the affiliated Selkirk Rex Cat Club. The aim of this breeding policy is to give advice and guidance to breeders of Selkirk Rex Cats, to ensure best practice prevails. The over-riding objective is to conserve and improve the SelkirkRex cat, working to meet all aspects of the Standard of Points, which describes the ideal for the breed. Breeders should learn how to gain the best out of their breeding plans by adding value into the Selkirk Rex and how to make decisions that can only better its on-going development. A balance should be sourced to balance the need for selective outcrossing to increase the gene pool and improve stamina and health with the need to breed Selkirk Rex with sufficient preceding generations of Selkirk to Selkirkmatings to produce consistent type. Co-operation between breeders, with the GCCF and internationally, will ensure that diverse breeding lines are maintained within the breed and the breeders have sufficient options to maintain low inbreeding coefficients.
