Abstract excerpt
The variability of 19 canine microsatellite loci was examined within and between three pure breeds of dog. Their phylogenetic relationships were estimated by microsatellite and conventional genetic distances which indicated that greyhounds and German shepherds had longer diverse evolutionary histories, whereas Labrador retrievers were established much later. Our three breeds differ mainly in the relative...
