Population genetic structure of Sri Lankan backyard chicken flocks: Implication for conservation and genetic improvement programs

Traditional ‘random’ sampling strategy for molecular characterization has revealed low genetic differentiation and weak genetic structure among Asian and African indigenous, non-descript chicken populations although they carried high within-population phenotypic and molecular genetic diversity. In...
