Abstract excerpt
The present study was undertaken to evaluate different Indian riverine buffalo breeds (Bubalus bubalis) for mutation drift equilibrium and occurrence of any recent genetic bottleneck. A total of 330 animals from seven different breeds were analyzed with a set of 24 heterologous microsatellite markers. Three different tests revealed significant heterozygosity excess in all the seven buffalo breeds studied when...
