Abstract
Microsatellite loci distributing on genome randomly act as effective genetic markers. To date, about 200 microsatellite loci were found in cervids by transferring microsatellite PCR primers derived in bovine, ovine to cervids, as well as a few loci derived directly from deer microsatellite library. These loci have been used in parentage determination, genetic diversity and population structure, population introgression, as genetic marker gestation length and wintering survivalet al. However, microsatellite loci presently found are untouchable to the demand of application. Future work should include: 1) isolating a large number of cervine microsatellite loci, 2) constructing genetic and physical maps of microsatellite loci. So that microsatelites have a strong base for advanced applications in deer.
