Juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from Atlantic nesting populations migrate
into the western Mediterranean, where they share feeding grounds with turtles originating in …

This review updates the available molecular techniques and technologies and discusses
how they can be used for traceability, food control and enforcement activities. The review …

The effectiveness of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the assignment of cattle to
their source breeds was investigated by analysing a panel of 90 SNPs assayed on 24 …

Background Domestication and selection are processes that alter the pattern of within-and
