“…The new sequences in our study from Isiolo and Narok counties also proved to be extremely diverse. This finding was consistent with other genetic diversity studies on domestic goat breeds in other studies in Africa (Gorkhali et al 2014;Awotunde et al 2015). Several theories have been put forward to explain the observed high genetic diversity among these goat populations.…”

“…The frequency distribution of the haplogroups in all the published African goats and goats in this study was consistent with the reported patterns in other studies (Joshi et al 2004;Awotunde et al 2015), in which haplogroups A is the major component (91% of the goat haplotypes at the worldwide scale Naderi et al 2007). The different mtDNA haplogroups found in goat breeds in our study further support the previous view of multiple maternal origins of domestic goats (Chen et al 2005).…”

Phylogenetic relationships among and genetic variability within 60 goats from two different indigenous breeds in Narok and Isiolo counties in Kenya and 22 published goat samples were analysed using mitochondrial control region sequences. The results showed that there were 54 polymorphic sites in a 481-bp sequence and 29 haplotypes were determined. The mean haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity were 0.981 ± 0.006 and 0.019 ± 0.001, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis in combination with goat haplogroup reference sequences from GenBank showed that all goat sequences were clustered into two haplogroups (A and G), of which haplogroup A was the commonest in the two populations. A very high percentage (99.90%) of the genetic variation was distributed within the regions, and a smaller percentage (0.10%) distributed among regions as revealed by the analysis of molecular variance (amova). This amova results showed that the divergence between regions was not statistically significant. We concluded that the high levels of intrapopulation diversity in Isiolo and Narok goats and the weak phylogeographic structuring suggested that there existed strong gene flow among goat populations probably caused by extensive transportation of goats in history.

The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of goats in the Yangtze River region using microsatellite and mtDNA to better understand the current status of those goat genetic diversity and the effects of natural landscape in fashion of domestic animal genetic diversity. The genetic variability of 16 goat populations in the littoral zone of the Yangtze River was estimated using 21 autosomal microsatellites, which revealed high diversity and genetic population clustering with a dispersed geographical distribution. A phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial D‐loop region (482 bp) was conducted in 494 goats from the Yangtze River region. In total, 117 SNPs were reconstructed, and 173 haplotypes were identified, 94.5% of which belonged to lineages A and B. Lineages C, D, and G had lower frequencies (5.2%), and lineage F haplotypes were undetected. Several high‐frequency haplotypes were shared by different ecogeographically distributed populations, and the close phylogenetic relationships among certain low‐frequency haplotypes indicated the historical exchange of genetic material among these populations. In particular, the lineage G haplotype suggests that some west Asian goat genetic material may have been transferred to China via Muslim migration.

The Tanzanian goat (Capra hircus) population is currently estimated to be 24.1 million (NBS, 2020) with 97% comprising of indigenous goats belonging to the Small East African (SEA) goat breed (MLF, 2017). Due to their adaptability to different climatic conditions, the indigenous goats are widely distributed in almost all agro-ecological zones of Tanzania. Goats are important species for the livelihood of the rural farming communities especially those residing in arid and semi-arid areas of Tanzania where other agricultural activities are
