Characterizing Nali and Chokla sheep differentiation with microsatellite markers

New genetic identification and characterisation of 12 Algerian sheep breeds by microsatellite markers

“…It can be said that there is loss of heterozygosity in four microsatellite loci studied considering F IS value is also known as the inbreeding coefficient. It is noteworthy that obtained general mean of F ST value is higher than earlier studies (Cemal et al 2013;Ben Sassi-Zaidy et al 2014;Ocampo et al 2016) and lower than others (Sodhi et al 2006;Yilmaz et al 2014). The differences between the previous literature and the present study were mainly due to non-comparative aspects such as studied microsatellite and breed differences.…”

Genetic structure and variability within and among populations of the fat-tailed Barbarine sheep breed using microsatellites markers

“…In South African sheep breeds, the AR and H o values were significantly lower than those obtained in the BAR (Soma et al, 2012). Previous studies presented the same range of within-breed genetic variability in Italian sheep breed (Bozzi et al, 2009;Lasagna et al, 2011;Tolone et al, 2011) and in Austrian and Spanish sheep breeds (Baumung et al, 2006;Legaz et al, 2008), whereas Bhatia (2004, 2006) and Sodhi et al (2006) found lower values while investigating Indian sheep breeds. The large genetic diversity of the BAR was also demonstrated by Khaldi et al (2010) andEl Hentati et al (2012) using RAPD markers.…”

Genetic diversity of Colombian sheep by microsatellite markers

“…The recent awareness campaigns for the conservation of genetic resources encouraged to carry out studies of genetic diversity in different breeds and species of livestock (Sodhi et al, 2006). Several studies have successfully used microsatellite molecular markers to characterize the genetic diversity between breeds and species of livestock (Li et al, 2000;Baumung et al, 2006;Yang et al, 2008;Sollero et al, 2008;Arora et al, 2010;Kugonza et al, 2011;Dixit et al, 2012;Souza et al, 2012) because these markers have high polymorphism, co-dominant inheritance, abundance in the genome, selectively neutral behavior, easy access, and high reproducibility (Dodgson et al, 1997).…”
