During the last ten years, the use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the DNA
level, has been playing an increasing part in animal genetics studies. Amongst others, the …

Genetic studies of livestock populations focus on questions of domestication, within‐and
among‐breed diversity, breed history and adaptive variation. In this review, we describe the …

Genotyping errors occur when the genotype determined after molecular analysis does not
correspond to the real genotype of the individual under consideration. Virtually every genetic …

Abstract Background Among the European countries, Italy counts the largest number of local
goat breeds. Thanks to the recent availability of a medium-density SNP (single nucleotide …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to study the genetic
diversity among a large set (n= 79) of inbred lines of recent elite faba bean (Vicia faba L.) …

This book has been written in response to three stimuli. First, all over the world there is
evidence that the diversity of domesticated animals is under threat and students, opinion …

The investigation of genetic diversity at molecular level has been proposed as a valuable
complement and sometimes proxy to phenotypic diversity of local breeds and is presently …

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to analyze the genetic diversity of
domestic stocks of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus). Sixteen populations within Alabama …

Environmental stressors have, over generations, influenced the morphology, anatomy,
behaviour, physiology, and genetic structure of small ruminants. The widespread dispersal …

The highly divergent SRLV genotype E has recently been characterized in Italy as a low
pathogenic caprine lentivirus in the Roccaverano breed. The availability of a genotype …
