Genetic diversity of Italian goat breeds assessed with a medium-density SNP chip

The genetic diversity within and between two maternal breeds of pigs (LA—Landrace and LW—Large White) used in a commercial breeding nucleus was analyzed using pedigree and

The MEK/core set method implicitly assumes a base population in which all individuals are unrelated and therefore Div (Base) = 1.00. This suggests that the solutions to the

The local breeds sam- pled along an eastern/western axis of the Alpine chain included: Cika (CIKA), an autochthonous breed from Slovenia and Croatia; the Italian and

we observed: a tight Southern Spanish cluster that included the Florida, Malagueña and Murciano-Granadina breeds; a more scattered North- ern Spanish cluster, including the Blanca

peaks of Ne decline were recorded around eight and 13 generations ago in 24 (excluded Dagestan Mountain) and 22 (excluded Karakul, Dagestan Mountain and Soviet Merino)

Taken together, all the approaches used to analyze gen- etic relationship among individuals and populations in this study suggested a high molecular diversity in Iranian goats,
