The aim of the present study was to characterize genetic diversity within and differentiation between 5 closely related lines of Japanese-native chickens, the Nagoya breed, based on microsatellite polymorphisms. For 5 Nagoya lines, the mean number of alleles per locus, the observed heterozygosity, the expected heterozygosity, and the inbreeding coefficient within a line ranged from 2.35 to 2.85, from 0.385 to...
