Abstract:The D‐loop region on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is frequently used for analyses of maternal lineages within domestic animal species. There are many native pig breeds in Vietnam, but their origins remain unclear. This study investigated maternal lineages using the D‐loop region on mtDNA of 260 samples collected from native pigs in 20 provinces across Vietnam. The D‐loop region of all samples was amplified and sequenced. We obtained 713 bp sequences of the D‐loop region for each sample excluding the repeat region… Show more
