Title: Analisis of Genetic Diversity of Five Goat Populations by Microsatellite Markers
Abstract: The genetic diversity of five goat populations was surveyed using 7 microsatellite loci. The five goat populations included Li -cheng blue goat,lvliang black goat,Boer goat, Nanjiang huang goat (blank), Nanjiang huang goat (yellow). The 7 microsatellite loci showed high polymorphism information content value. They can be used for the genetic diversity evaluation in goat breeds.The mean polymorphism information content value was between 0.8341 ~0.9026,which indicated that the 5 populations had abundant genetic diversity.The mean observed heterozygosit-ies (0.6258~0.8629) were lower than their mean expected values (0.8594~0.9115).It was suggested that the five goat populations were highly genetic polymorphic but somewhat inbred.Boer goat is more serious than them. The UPGMA dendrogram and N-J based on the Nei,s genetic distance indicated that lvliang blank goat and Nanjiang huang goat (blank) were clustered first,but Lvliang blank goat were not clustered with Licheng blue goat first. The four goat populations had the distant relationship with Boer goat.
