Assessing the genetic diversity of five Tanzanian chicken ecotypes using molecular tools

  • 2013
  • Issue: 4
  • Volume: 43
C.M. Lyimo, A. Weigend, U. Janßen-Tapken, P.L. Msoffe, H. Simianer & S. Weigend Page: 499 - 510

The study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of Tanzanian chicken populations through phylogenetic relationship, and to trace the history of Tanzanian indigenous chickens. Five ecotypes of Tanzanian local chickens (Ching’wekwe, Kuchi, Morogoro-medium, Pemba and Unguja) from eight regions were…

Microsatellite-based characterization of Southern African domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica)

  • 2010
  • Issue: 2
  • Volume: 40
H. Swart, A. Kotze, P.A.S. Olivier and J.P. Grobler Page: 121 - 132

This paper details genetic characterization and trends from a microsatellite-based study of genetic diversity on southern African pig populations. A total of 351 pigs from three commercial breeds and three indigenous populations were genotyped at 39 loci. Differences among the…
