| genetic differentiation of water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) populations in china, nepal and south-east asia: inferences on the region of domestication of the swamp buffalo. | data from three published studies of genetic variation at 18 microsatellite loci in water buffalo populations in china (18 swamp type, two river type), nepal (one wild, one domestic river, one hybrid) and south-east asia (eight swamp, three river) were combined so as to gain a broader understanding of genetic relationships among the populations and their demographic history. mean numbers of alleles and expected heterozygosities were significantly different among populations. estimates of ?
