The list below (Table 1) provides the location of domestic dog microsatellites that have been identified within 5 kb of the gene of interest.  The locations corresponds to the nucleotide position the genome seqeunce of the dog.  These postions can be located at ENSEMBL or the UC Santa Criz browser.    The microsatellies were selected as perfect dinucleotide repeats with a minimum repeat of 18 dinucleotide pairs.  Primers are now being developed for these microsatellites and they will be tested for polymorphism and genotype in the dog reference families.  The Lyons' Laboratory will assist the development of new markers near genes of interest for investigators interested in developing canine models for human disease.  Contact the Lyons Laboratory at: felinegenome@ucdavis.edu
