The aim of this study was to describe inbreeding and population structure in Sangsari sheep breeding station. For this reason, data from 7028 Sangsari sheep which were collected during 1987-2014 in Sangsari sheep breeding station located near to Damghan city, Semnan province were used. Lambs born during 2010-2014 were considered as reference population. The genetic structure analysis of the pop...

Esox lucius is an economically important freshwater species. Mitochondrial cytb, 12SrRNA, and 16SrRNA gene sequences were used in order to clarify the genetic variation and population structure in three E. Lucius populations, i.e., one Wild population (W) and two hatchery populations (Hatchery Population I-HPI and Hatchery Population II-HPII). A total of 55 individuals, with 19 from wild and 1...

the citrus leafminer, phyllocnistis citrella stainton (lepidoptera: gracillariidae) is a major invasive pest of citrus in tunisia. in order to help the implementation of an efficient integrated management strategy, it was essential to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of the pest. for this purpose, random-amplified polymorphic dna-polymerase chain reaction (rapd-pcr) was app...

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...

in the present study, genotyping of six short tandem repeat (str) loci including csf1po, d16s539, f13a01, f13b, lpl and hprtb was performed on genomic dna from 127 unrelated individuals from the iranian province of isfahan. the results indicated that the allele and genotype distributions were in accordance with hardy-weinberg expectations. the observed heterozygosity (ho), expected heterozygosi...

The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a bird of prey with Eurasia distribution. Buteo buteo from Iran, has an important role in the ecological cycle of the north and the northwest parts of Iran, now is suffering from illegal hunting. Blood samples from 50 Buteo buteo birds from rehabilitation center of Pardisan Park, Tehran, Iran were taken to evaluate and study the gen...
