| genetic diversity of eight domestic goat populations raised in turkey. | the objective of this study was to determine the intra- and intergenetic diversities of eight different goat populations in turkey including hair, angora, kilis, yayladag, shami, honamli, saanen, and alpine. a total of 244 dna samples were genotyped using 11 microsatellites loci. the genetic differentiation between breeds was considerable as a result of the statistically significant (p < 0.001) pairwise f st values of each pair of breeds. exceptionally, f st values calculated for honamli and hai ... | 2016 | 27092309 |
| y-chromosomal variation of local goat breeds of turkey close to the domestication centre. | genetic variations in chromosome y are enabling researchers to identify paternal lineages, which are informative for introgressions and migrations. in this study, the male-specific region markers, sex-determining region-y (sry), amelogenin (amely) and zinc finger (zfy) were analysed in seven turkish native goat breeds, angora, kilis, hair, honamlı, norduz, gürcü and abaza. a snp in the zfy gene defined a new haplotype y2c. all domestic haplogroups originate from capra aegagrus, while the finding ... | 2015 | 25781056 |
