Genetic relationships among 37 European cattle breeds were investigated using blood group and serum protein polymorphisms. The 18 859 animals included in the study represented a random sample from pedigree populations in the UK. Withinβbreed variation was estimated by average heterozygosity and numb

Genotype data from 20 microsatellites typed in 253 animals is used here to assess the genetic structure of seven European pedigree cattle breeds. Estimation of genetic subdivision using classical driftβbased measures shows that the average proportion of genetic variation among breeds varies between
We tested the use of biallelic Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) polymorphisms for the estimation of relative genetic distances of cattle individuals within or across breeds. An allele permutation procedure was developed to estimate the stochastic variation of the genetic distance that i
The polymorphism of 23 microsatellites in the four main cattle breeds in Belgium (Holstein Friesian, Belgian Blue, Belgian Red Pied and East Flemish) was analysed. Heterozygosity, polymorphism information content, the effective number of alleles, exclusion probability and the probability of genotypi
Microsatellite variation was analyzed in five Chinese indigenous goat breeds, which include four Cashmere breeds (Tibetan, Neimonggol, Liaoning, Taihang) and one Hubei local breed (Matou) used for meat production. Five ovine and one bovine microsatellites, selected from eight ovine microsatellites a
