| evaluation of the genetic diversity and population structure of chinese indigenous horse breeds using 27 microsatellite markers. | we determined the genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships among 26 chinese indigenous horse breeds and two introduced horse breeds by genotyping these animals for 27 microsatellite loci. the 26 chinese horse breeds come from 12 different provinces. two introduced horse breeds were the mongolia b horse from mongolia and the thoroughbred horse from the uk. a total of 330 alleles were detected, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.719 (elenchuns) to 0.780 (dali). the mean number o ... | 2011 | 20477800 |
