Abstract excerpt
Forty-two microsatellite loci were analysed in 23 highly inbred chicken lines derived from Leghorn, Jungle Fowl, Fayoumi and Spanish breeds. Line-specific alleles among breeds and lines were detected. The band-sharing (BS) values were calculated and the proportion of shared alleles distances (Dps) were estimated. The BS values and Dps between sets of MHC-congenic lines ranged from 0.74 to 0.96, and 0.05-0.35,...
