ABSTRACT:
Isolated polynucleotide sequences capable of selectively hybridizing to fragments of Equidae DNA. Methods of identifying polymorphism in Equidae including extracting DNA, digesting the extracted DNA with a restriction enzyme, loading the digested DNA on a suitable gel and conducting electrophoresis, prehybridizing and hybridizing the digested DNA and determining the hypervariable regions in the digested DNA. A method of differentiating between the DNA of horses, donkeys or zebras from the DNA of other animals.
