Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Chickens represent an important animal genetic resource for improving farmers' income in Africa. The present study provides a comparative analysis of the genetic diversity of village chickens across a subset of African countries. Four hundred seventy-two chickens were sampled in 23 administrative provinces across Cameroon, Benin, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Morocco. Geographical coordinates were...
