Abstract excerpt
Our knowledge of the genetic relatedness among the eight existing domesticated turkey strains is limited. To begin to address this paucity, genetic relatedness among five turkey strains (Blue Slate, Bourbon Red, Narragansett, Royal Palm, and Spanish Black) was investigated using three molecular marker systems: randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), microsatellite, and SNPs derived from a sequence tagged site...
