High accuracy of genetic discrimination among chicken lines obtained through an individual assignment test.

Abstract excerpt

In the current study, we carried out assignment tests applying the Bayesian and distance-based methods, using 20 microsatellite genotypes in four chicken lines. The Bayesian method showed slightly higher performance of assignment than the distance-based method. In the assignment using the Bayesian method, >or=90% accuracy of assignment was attained by using only two of the most heterozygous markers, whereas in...
