The microsatellites markers are highly polymorphic, abundant and distributed throughout the genome. It has been established that microsatellite DNA markers are suitable markers for description of breeds. Microsatellite markers can also be used to identify genes associated with important economic traits such as milk yield and compositions.The high degree of polymorphism and co-dominant inheritance of microsatellite loci is the reason that they are frequently used as genetic markers for population studies in domestic animals.
