Abstract excerpt
This study assessed the usefulness of geographic and pairwise genetic distances in the characterization of five sheep populations using 15 microsatellite markers. The average F statistics across loci were F (IT) = 0.523 +/- 0.140, F (ST) = 0.363 +/- 0.131, and F (IS) = 0.263 +/- 0.092. The average heterozygosity was 0.716 +/- 0.069, polymorphism information content was 0.691 +/- 0.070, and effective number of...
