Genetic diversity and differentiation of Ankole cattle populations in Uganda inferred from microsatellite data

A total of 304 individuals from eight Ankole cattle populations of Uganda were analysed based on 19 microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity, relationships and population structure. Across all loci, 200 alleles were observed. A high mean number of alleles (MNA) per locus, ranging from...
