Abstract excerpt
The genetic variability and divergence of eight chicken lines were evaluated using nine microsatellite markers. The chicken lines included three White Leghorn hybrids, three Finnish Landrace lines, a Rhode Island Red line, and a broiler hybrid line. All the microsatellite loci were found to be polymorphic, the number of alleles varying from 4 to 13 per locus and 1 to 10 per line, respectively. Observed...
