Popis: This study aimed to identify allele variability and determine the frequencies of microsatellite (MS) markers specific to bovine sex chromosomes in Korean native cattle (KNC; Chikso, Hanwoo and Jeju Black). The three KNC breeds were characterized using 4 MS markers (INRA30, TGLA325, UMN0905 and UMN0929), and allelic richness, allele frequency, heterozygosity and polymorphism information content (PIC) per locus were calculated. The mean observed heterozygosity and PIC values for Chikso, Jeju Black and Hanwoo were 0.541 and 0.542, 0.406 and 0.377, and 0.61 and 0.6, respectively. The heterozygosity and the PIC values of Jeju Black breed were smaller than those of Chikso and Hanwoo. Thus, these genetic parameters were used for the characterization of the breeds and for determining their genetic relationships. The findings of this study might be useful for the conservation, management, and utilization of KNC breeds as genetic resources.
