Genetic Diversity in a Small Chicken Population Inferred from Microsatellite Polymorphism

Neutral genetic variation is believed to provide useful information for conservation of farm-animal genetic resources. The aim of the present study was to assess genetic diversity in a small native chicken population composed of 4 groups, using neutral microsatellite markers. High within-group mol...
