Abstract
We have isolated 42 highly polymorphic microsatellite (GT/CA)n markers from Japanese black cattle Wagyu (Bos taurus). Forty-one of the markers were assigned to bovine autosomes with lod scores > 6, through linkage analyses performed on the International Bovine Reference Family Panel (IBRP). The remaining marker showed X-linked inheritance. These markers exhibited an average heterozygosity value of 0.67 with between four and 17 alleles on the IBRP.
