Genetic diversity and differentiation of five Cuban cattle breeds using 30 microsatellite loci

Abstract: Conservation and improvement strategies in farm animals should be based on a combination of genetic and phenotypic characteristics. Genotype data from 30 microsatellites were used to assess the genetic diversity and relationships among five Cuban cattle breeds (Siboney de Cuba, Criollo Cubano, Cebú Cubano, Mambí de Cuba and Taíno de Cuba). All microsatellite markers were highly polymorphic in all the breeds. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.67 ± 0.02 in the Taíno de Cuba breed to 0.75 ± 0.02 in the Ma… Show more

“…Microsatellite markers have been widely used to evaluate the genetic diversity of indigenous cattle breeds (FAO, 2011). Genetic diversity has been investigated in a number of developing countries on breeds such as the Ankole longhorn (Ndumu et al 2008;Kugonza et al 2011) and Afrikaner cattle breeds (Pienaar et al 2014) as well as a number of indigenous cattle breeds in Mozambique (Bessa et al 2009), Cuba (Acosta et al 2013), Cameroon (Ngono-Ema et al 2014 and India (Sharma et al 2015).…”

“…El número de alelos observados en el presente estudio fue similar al 13,2 reportado por Egito et al (2007), pero marcadamente mayor al reportado por otros estudios (Maudet et al, 2002;Steigleder et al, 2004;Villalobos-Cortés et al, 2011;Acosta et al, 2013). Puesto que existe coincidencia en una mayoría de los marcadores analizados por los distintos estudios, la mayor cantidad de alelos detectados podría relacionarse con los factores de mayor tamaño de muestra y mayor cantidad de establecimientos visitados.…”

“…El contenido de información polimórfica (CIP) ratificó esta alta variabilidad variando desde un mínimo de 0,65 para el marcador RM067 hasta un máximo de 0,88 para el marcador CSSM66. Estos valores también tendieron a ser mayores a los reportados por estudios similares (Maudet et al, 2002;Steigleder et al, 2004;Pizarro et al, 2009;Martín-Burriel et al, 2011;Villalobos-Cortés et al, 2011;Acosta et al, 2013), lo que nuevamente podría ligarse a las características del muestreo, principalmente a la inclusión de mayor diversidad de grupos raciales.…”
