this study investigated genetic variation within indigenous chicken of khorasan using four microsatellite markers (mcw5, mcw16, mcw18 and mcw34). 90 blood samples were collected from this population and phenol-chloroform extraction method was used to isolate the dna. the highest and the lowest allele number and effective alleles are shown in mcw5 (6 and 5.293) and mcw34 (4 and 3.138), respectiv...

Problem statement: Gohilwari breed of goat is a multipurpose goat mainly for milk and meat purposes and best suited in its harsh climatic condition. This breed is inadequately characterized till now at DNA level. So the present study was undertaken for population genetic analysis at molecular level to exploit the breed for planning sustainable improvement, conservation and utilization, which su...

totally, 3200 and 320 young worker bees were investigated morphologically and molecularly respectively. the four important honey bee microsatellite loci, a24, a28, a29, a113, indicated a considerable level of genetic diversity among the nation’s northwest honey bee populations and, considering average number of alleles per locus (3.25-5.75) and, average expected heterozygosity (0.445-0.701) hig...

The genetic diversity and phylogenetic structure was analyzed in Marghoz goat population by mitochondrial DNA sequences. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using hyper variable region 1 (968 bp) obtained form 40 animals. Marghoz goat proved to be extremely diverse (average haplotype diversity of 0.999) and the nucleotide diversity values 0.022. A total of 40 Marghoz goats were grouped into s...

study of morphological traits of red fleshed apples is a critical step to improve the quality andcommercializing of them. in order to study genetic diversity of iranian red fleshed apples, a total of 17morphological characteristics were assessed for eight genotypes of red- fleshed (‘haji qermez’, ‘goushtqermez’, ‘shahroud-10’, ‘arous gousht qermz’, ‘b.9’, ‘qazvin 1, 2, 3’) and 12 iranian and fo...

Bayesian clustering methods have emerged as a popular tool for assessing hybridization using genetic markers. Simulation studies have shown these methods perform well under certain conditions; however, these methods have not been evaluated using empirical data sets with individuals of known ancestry. We evaluated the performance of two clustering programs, baps and structure, with genetic data ...
