Genetic relationships of five Indian horse breeds using microsatellite markers

Genetic relationships of five Indian horse breeds using microsatellite markers.

The genetic relationships of five Indian horse breeds, namely Marwari, Spiti, Bhutia, Manipuri and Zanskari were studied using microsatellite markers. The DNA samples of 189 horses of these breeds were amplified by polymerase chain reaction using 25 microsatellite loci. The total number of alleles varied from five to 10 with a mean heterozygosity of 0.58 ± 0.05. Spiti and Zansakari were the mos...

Analysis of genetic diversity and the determination of relationships among western Mediterranean horse breeds using microsatellite markers.

The distribution of genetic diversity and the genetic relationships among western Mediterranean horse breeds were investigated using microsatellite markers. The examined sample included seven Spanish and three Italian local horse breeds and populations, plus a Spanish Thoroughbred outgroup. The total number of animals examined was 682 (on average 62 animals per breed; range 20-122). The microsa...

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Five Chinese Indigenous Donkey Breeds Using Microsatellite Markers

Di R., Liu Q.Y., Xie F., Hu W.P., Wang X.-Y., Cao X.-H., Pan Z.-Y., Chen G.-H., Chu M.-X. (2017): Evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure of five Chinese indigenous donkey breeds using microsatellite markers. Czech J. Anim. Sci., 62, 219–225. China had the largest population of raising donkeys in the world, however the number of Chinese indigenous donkey decreased dramatically ...

Genetic Diversity of Four Cattle Breeds Using Microsatellite Markers

Four cattle breeds (Gyr, Nellore, Guzerat and Holstein) were analyzed by amplification of genomic DNA using microsatellite loci to evaluate the genetic diversity within and among them. DNA samples of 18 animals from each breed were collected to access the genetic content of them. Allele frequencies were calculated and used to generate a Nei’s genetic distance matrix what was used to build a den...
