Pets live with people and place biological samples everywhere, which may be useful
in a forensic context linking suspects and victims, to an occurrence.
There were analyzed samples of 63 unrelated dogs to the ST R´s markers PEZ1, FHC2054,
FHC2010, PEZ5, PEZ20, PEZ12, PEZ3, PEZ6, PEZ8 and FHC2079, and 63 feline
samples of unrelated animals for the FCA733, FCA723 and FCA731 markers.
Preliminary results show that it is possible to make genetic identification of individual
animals of species under study, thus contributing to increase the potential of forensic samples of animal origin
