From a total of 524 microsatellite loci considered in nearly 40 000 individuals of 78 species,
freshwater fish displayed levels of population genetic variation (mean heterozygosity, h= 0 …

A series of recent genetic studies has revealed the remarkably complex picture of
domestication in both New World and Old World livestock. By comparing mitochondrial and …

We have isolated four microsatellites from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), including three
tetranucleotide loci. This class of microsatellites exhibits a minimum of stuttering upon …

We introduce a new genetic distance for microsatellite loci, incorporating features of the
stepwise mutation model, and test its performance on microsatellite polymorphisms in …

The world's domestic animal breeds represent an important resource for economic
development and livelihood security. Extensive genetic diversity in these breeds allows the …

A set of eleven pig breeds originating from six European countries, and including a small
sample of wild pigs, was chosen for this study of genetic diversity. Diversity was evaluated …

Twenty‐one microsatellite loci in 11 populations of Asian water buffalo (eight swamp, three
river type) were analysed and, within and among populations, genetic variability was …

Genotype data from 20 microsatellites typed in 253 animals is used here to assess the
genetic structure of seven European pedigree cattle breeds. Estimation of genetic …

L ivestock breeds are recognized I as important components of world biodiversity because
the genes and gene combinations they carry may be useful to agriculture in the future. The …

The genetic variability and divergence of eight chicken lines were evaluated using nine
microsatellite markers. The chicken lines included three White Leghorn hybrids, three …
