Genetic characterization of indigenous East African cattle breeds using microsatellite DNA markers
Seven cattle populations indigenous to East Africa and three reference breeds (Sahiwal, N'Dama and Friesian) were characterized with 18 autosomal microsatellite loci. Within-breed diversity was high in all breeds with observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.511 (+ or -) 0.214 (N'Dama) to 0.660 (+ o...
