Studies are being carried out to monitor the genetic purity of red deer on the Scottish Islands

The Deer Commission has commissioned Edinburgh University to carry out the analysis using hi-tech microsatellite DNA markers. Molecular ecologist professor Josephine Pemberton will deliver the findings in August next year.
