GENTRAS has selected a number of STRs in the equine genome to be used for pedigree reconstruction and tagging.

While pedigree identification can be a valuable tool for horserace breeders and buyers, tagging is a way of preventing stolen animals (a phenomenon in rapid growth in Europe) to be sold. The DNA can be extracted efficiently both from saliva and hair.
