Summary Genetic variation at seven microsatellite DNA loci was quantified in 19 herds of wild caribou and domestic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from North America, Scandinavia and Russia. There is an average of 2.0–6.6 alleles per locus and observed individual heterozygosity of 0.33–0.50 in most her...

Reindeer in Alaska and Siberia have different allele frequencies at several loci, but a relatively low level of genetic differentiation.
