Abstract excerpt
Modern individual clustering methods utilising hypervariable nuclear microsatellite DNA polymorphisms are being increasingly applied in the field of population genetics. This study explores the efficiency of the clustering methods in identifying the breeds of origin of 250 domestic dog (Canis familiaris) individuals based on 10 microsatellite loci. An allele sharing distance (DAS) matrix and the corresponding...
