Abstract excerpt

By analyzing DNA fingerprints of chickens from seven well-defined genetic groups, a calibration curve was established relating the degree of inbreeding with the average band frequency, allelic frequency and band sharing. The probe used was bacteriophage M13 DNA and digestion of the genomic DNA wa...
