Genetic variation on the mammalian Y chromosome is extremely useful for understanding global patterns of population diversity and sex-specific population parameters such as male-mediated dispersals or introgressions (Hurles and Jobling, 2001; Petit et al., 2002). Its uniparental mode of inheritance and the complete absence of meiotic recombination in almost all its extent imply that each individual has a single haplotype and that phylogenetic analyses are relatively straightforward to interpret. These features may help to unravel the complexity of animal domestication and complement the picture emerged from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) surveys (Hanotte et al., 2000; Bruford et al., 2003; Pidancier et al., 2006; Meadows et al., 2006). Studies on the Y chromosome are of particular interest in domesticated species because common breeding strategies impose that only a few males contribute genetically to the next generation leading to a strong sex-bias in the domestication process (Lindgren et al., 2004). The first livestock species to be domesticated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East was the goat (Capra hircus) by taming of the wild bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus) at least 10,000 years ago (Mason, 1984; Zeder, 2006). A series of recent genetic studies based on mtDNA sequence variation has revealed a complex pattern of caprine domestication (Luikart et al., 2001; Naderi et al., 2007). Six divergent mtDNA haplogroups have been found in domestic goat populations worldwide, suggesting the incorporation of numerous genetic lineages into the domestic goat gene pool, most likely from different populations of the bezoar goat. The development of a coherent phylogeny of Y-chromosomal haplotypes will be particularly useful to understand patrilineal contributions to the origin and subsequent movements of goat pastoralism worldwide. Here we present a rapid and robust multiplex PCR/primer extension assay to genotype a set of goat Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously described (Lenstra, 2005). Four diagnostic SNPs located in two flanking domains of the SRY gene (promoter region and 30 untranslated region) were selected to allow the discrimination of the four Y-chromosomal haplotypes Y1A, Y1B, Y1C and Y2 identified so far in domestic goat populations. The detection of SNP variants is based on the SNaP-shot single-base sequencing (also known as minisequencing), which consists in using dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs) for singlebase extension of an unlabeled primer that anneals one base upstream to the relevant SNP. Identification of haplotypes is then possible by automated capillary electrophoresis (for separation of extended products of known lengths) and multicolour fluorescence1055-7903/$-see front matter Ó 2008 Elsevier Inc.
