Genetic monitoring of a Santa Ines herd using microsatellite markers near or linked to the sheep MHC Monitoramento genético de um rebanho da raça Santa Inês a partir de marcadores microssatélites próximos ou ligados ao MHC ovino

This study aimed to analyze genetic diversity in a conservation nucleus of Santa Inês sheep using thirteen microsatellite loci on chromosome 20 (where the Sheep Major Histocompatibility Complex - Ovar-MHC - is found). Seventy three animals from one herd born from 2004 to 2006 were evaluated as a pri...
