The DNA from blood and tissue were extracted by the standard proteinase K/phenol-chloroform procedure. The 16 genomic DNA samples were used for microsatellite assay using twenty 2005 Canine ISAG markers (AHTk253, AHT121, FH2054 , INRA21, AHTk211, REN54P11, REN162C04, AHTH171, REN105L03 , AHTH130, REN169O18, Amelogenin, REN64E19, REN169D01, FH2848, AHT137, REN247M23, INU005, INU030 and INU055) labeled with one of the fluorescent dyes FAM, NED, PET or VIC (Table 1). PCR products were generated in 10 µl reactions containing 20 ng DNA, 125 µM dNTPs, 1.25 pmol each of the respective forward and reverse primers (forward primers were fluorescently labeled), and 0.15 U Taq DNA polymerase (Applied Biosystems, Foster city, CA). Amplification was carried out in a GeneAmp PCR System 9700 thermal cycler (Applied Biosystems) under touch-down conditions. PCR products were resolved with an internal size standard (GeneScan 500 LIZ, Applied Biosystems).Genotyping was performed by electrophoresis on an automated DNA sequencer (ABI 3100; Applied Biosystems), and genotype data was analyzed by means of GeneScan and Genotyper software (Applied Biosystems). Sequencing analysis of the canine mitochondrion D-loop region We have sequenced canine mitochondrion D-loop, about 2 kb including the D-loop adjacent region. Four primer sets for the amplification and sequencing analysis were designed based on GenBank sequences (Ref. Genome seq.; NC_002008 (U96639) released on 12. Jan. 2004). PCR primer sequences are listed in supplementary Table 3. PCRs were performed in a mixture of 1.25 pmol of each primer, 30 ng genomic DNA, 250 µM dNTPs, and 0.15U Taq DNA polymerase (Applied Biosystems) in the buffer provided by the manufacturer. Amplification was carried out in a GeneAmp PCR System 9700 thermal cycler (Applied Biosystems) under touch-down conditions. Nucleotide sequencing was performed using the Big Dye Terminator version 3.1 Cycle Sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems) and an ABI 3730 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). Sequence variants were verified by chromatograms using the software, DNASTAR®. Supplementary Fig. 1. Chromatograms of microsatellite genotyping For sample ID, please see supplementary Table 1. A.
