Abstract excerpt
Using the method of random sampling in typical colonies of the central area of the habitat and several electrophoresis techniques, the variations of 12 structural loci encoding blood protein of 60 Small-tailed Han sheep were examined and compared with those of four other sheep populations from coastal areas in East Asia to explore their phylogenetic relationships. Average heterozygosity of the five populations...
