Abstract excerpt
Allozyme, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), and microsatellite polymorphisms were examined and compared among five native populations of Chinese chickens, two fast-growing broiler lines, and one layer line. Three assay systems resulted in a different average heterozygosity or gene diversity in each of the eight populations. The lowest average heterozygosity was obtained with allozyme analysis (0.2209),...
