Abstract excerpt
Twenty-one microsatellite loci in 11 populations of Asian water buffalo (eight swamp, three river type) were analysed and, within and among populations, genetic variability was compared with results from 25 polymorphic protein-coding loci. Within-population mean heterozygosity ranged from 0.380-0.615, approximately twice that estimated from the protein-coding loci (0.184-0.346). Only eight significant departures...
