Deer species has both scientific research and economic value, and half of these species, however, are listed as endangered animals. For the conservation purpose, we designed a novel universal deer-specific PCR primer pair based on an evolutionarily conservative coding sequence (i.e., CEP295NL gene) across some deer species. This primer pair was successfully amplified and sequenced, showing around ~ 540 bp in cervids. Validation results showed that it can be utilized to develop a reliable and simple diagnostic tool for distinguishing other closely related species, as well as possibly interspecific identification amongst cervids.
