Marker-assisted conservation of European cattle breeds: An evaluation.
Animal genetics - 1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Two methods have been developed for the assessment of conservation priorities on the basis of molecular markers. According to the Weitzman approach, contributions to genetic diversity are derived from genetic distances between populations. Alternatively, diversity within and across populations is optimized by minimizing marker-estimated kinships. We have applied, for the first time, both methods to a...
