Abstract excerpt
To measure genetic relatedness between populations, for breeding purposes, we analyzed 170 birds from six crossbred populations of three pure lines of White Leghorn chickens, using 14 microsatellite markers. All the microsatellites were polymorphic, with 2-6 alleles. The mean number of alleles per locus was 3.21. The effective number of alleles varied from 1.14 to 3.94. The observed heterozygosity varied from...
