Abstract excerpt
RAPD markers were used to investigate population genetic parameters of an endangered partridge, Alectoris chukar, in four areas of Iran, as a part of a genetic conservation program. The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic similarity among these populations. Blood samples from 75 birds were used for DNA extraction and RAPD-PCR analysis of 67 loci, with 28 polymorphic bands (41.79%). The populations of...
