Genetic diversity of commercial turkey primary breeding lines as estimated by DNA fingerprinting.

Poultry science - 1 Jun 1998

Ye X, Zhu J, Velleman S G, Nestor K E

Abstract excerpt

The genetic diversity of primary breeding sire and dam lines from the three largest turkey breeders was estimated by band sharing of DNA fingerprints and by genetic distance estimated from band sharing. For comparison, experimental lines selected for increased egg production (E line) or increased...
