Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity present within the near-complete mitochondrial genome (15,982 bp) was determined from 17 indigenous Chinese pig breeds and 3 European breeds. Animals were selected from 17 Chinese breeds that reflect the large phenotypic diversity of Chinese pigs and represent each of the six breed types, which are grouped based on morphological characteristics. Analysis of nucleotide diversity confirmed a...
