Title: Genetic Diversity Analysis on Microsatellite Loci of Five Sheep Breeds
Abstract: Five sheep breeds including hu sheep,small-tail han sheep,Dorper,Texel and Dorset were analyzed by microsatellite markers to investigate their genetic diversities and relationships.The results showed that the 16 microsatellite loci were middle polymorphism or high polymorphism.The mean polymorphism information content value of five sheep breeds were between 0.4569 and 0.7477,and the mean heterozygosity of five breeds were between 0.3500 and 0.4277.The UPGMA dendrogram showed that the genetic distance was further between the two native sheep breeds and those three foreign sheep breeds,especially Dorper,than between the two native sheep breeds.It was suggested that the hybridized combinations between hu sheep and Dorper or small-tail han sheep and Dorper have more advantage.
