DNA extracted from the dental pulp of Sika Deer teeth was used for sexing wild fawns. Based on the difference of the base sequence in the sex-determining region Y (SRY) gene, between sika deer and other mammals, a pair of specific primers was designed for PCR. Six of fifteen fawns were judged to be male and nine female, based on the presence or absence of the SRY gene in PCR products.
