Abstract excerpt
Genotypic data from 39 microsatellite loci typed in 211 animals were used to assess the genetic differentiation between Old World and New World Holstein Friesian cattle populations. Gene diversities were similar in all five Holstein Friesian populations surveyed, ranging from 0.43 to 0.48. A tree of individuals based on the proportion of shared alleles indicated a clear distinction between Old World and New World...
