Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Indigenous Sheep (Ovis aries) Breeds of Nepal
Nepal borders India in the south and China in the north. Four distinct indigenous domestic sheep breed, i.e. Bhyanglung in the alpine region, Baruwal in the high hills, Kage in the mid hills and Lampuchhre in the low lands are distributed in the country. In this study, the mitochondrial DNA control region of 111 sheep from these four breeds was directly sequenced to determine their genetic vari...
متن کاملSequence Variations of Mitochondrial DNA Displacement-Loop in Iranian Indigenous Sheep Breeds
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used extensively to study population genetics because it has the unique features of maternal inheritance, a relatively fast rate of evolution and lack of recombination. A total of 82 unrelated sheep from 10 Iranian indigenous sheep breeds were investigated to determinate the maternal genetic diversity using a sequence of a 685 bp segment of the displacement lo...
متن کاملassessing genetic diversity in eight indigenous iranian sheep breeds (ovis aries) using aflp markers
in this study genetic diversity of eight iranian sheep breeds including; lori bakhtiari, makuei, moghani, taleshi, shal, zandi, naeini and kalakui was studied by using aflp method. a total of 309 individuals were analysed that produced 121 clear polymorphic bands. the average of heterozygosity within breed (hs) was high and equal to 0.2795± 0.0255. also, the average heterozygosity between breed...
متن کاملConservation genetics in Chinese sheep: diversity of fourteen indigenous sheep (Ovis aries) using microsatellite markers
The domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been an economically and culturally important farm animal species since its domestication around the world. A wide array of sheep breeds with abundant phenotypic diversity exists including domestication and selection as well as the indigenous breeds may harbor specific features as a result of adaptation to their environment. The objective of this study was to...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Position of a Copper Age Sheep (Ovis aries) Mitochondrial DNA
BACKGROUND Sheep (Ovis aries) were domesticated in the Fertile Crescent region about 9,000-8,000 years ago. Currently, few mitochondrial (mt) DNA studies are available on archaeological sheep. In particular, no data on archaeological European sheep are available. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we describe the first portion of mtDNA sequence of a Copper Age European sheep. DNA was extract...
