  Abstract The snow leopard (Uncia uncia) is a rare carnivore living above the snow line in central Asia. Using universal primers for the mitochondrial genome control region hypervariable

region 1 (HVR1), we isolated a 411-bp fragment of HVR1 and then designed specific primers

near each end of this sequence in the conserved regions. These primers were shown to yield

good polymerase chain reaction products and to be species specific. Of the 12 snow leopards

studied, there were 11 segregating sites and six haplotypes. An identification case of snow

leopard carcass (confiscated by the police) proved the primers to be a useful tool for forensic

diagnosis in field and population genetics studies.
