Abstract

Similarly to Europe and the United States, the need for the forensic DNA identification of dogs is increasing in Japan. Because few studies use commercial genotyping kits, we examine the effectiveness of individual DNA identification using the Canine Genotypes Panel 2.1 Kit on limited samples of dogs bred in Japan. We used Genomic DNA extracted from blood in non-related 50 Golden Retrievers, 50 Miniature Dachshunds, and 50 Shiba Inus bred in Japan. We investigated 18 canine STR markers (PEZ02, PEZ17, FH2017, FH2309, PEZ05, FH2001, FH2328, FH2004, FH2361, PEZ21, FH2054, FH3377, FH2107, FH2088, vWF.X, FH2010, PEZ16, and FH3313) and one sex-related marker (ZFX.Y) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Allele frequency, He, Ho, p-value, PD, PE, PIC, and MP were calculated for each marker. Random Match probability based on 18 STR loci was subsequently estimated to be 3.257 × 10−16 in Golden Retrievers, 3.933 × 10−18 in Miniature Dachshunds, and 2.107 × 10−18 in the Shiba Inus breed. There are a few studies that have used this kit in Japan. The results suggest that the kit with 18 autosomal STR loci and one sex marker is effective in forensic applications.
