Forty one microsatellite loci were investigated for studying the genetic polymorphism in Mewari breed of camel. Polymerase chain reactions were carried out for 50 unrelated camels of Mewari breed. The amplification products were resolved in 6% (denaturing) urea PAGE and stained with silver nitrate. Out of forty one microsatellite loci twenty one were polymorphic in Mewari camels. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 5. The observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.14 to 0.83 and 0.264 to 0.720. The polymorphic information content of the markers ranged from 0.244 to 0.649. The results indicated existence of selective breeding in the Mewari breed; nevertheless, there exists enough genetic variation among Mewari camels. Hence, the studied microsatellite markers can potentially be used for diverse genetic applications including linkage mapping, marker assisted selection for production enhancement, individual identification and parentage testing.
