Microsatellites have been widely accepted and employed as useful molecular markers for
measuring genetic diversity and divergence within and among populations. The various …

Goats (Capra hircus) were domesticated during the late Neolithic, approximately 10,500
years ago, and humans exerted minor selection pressure until fairly recently. Probably the …

The objectives of this study were to describe, using the goat SNP50 BeadChip (Illumina Inc.,
San Diego, CA), molecular data for the French dairy goat population and compare the effect …

The investigation of genetic diversity at molecular level has been proposed as a valuable
complement and sometimes proxy to phenotypic diversity of local breeds and is presently …

Brazil has various species of domestic animals, which developed from breeds brought by
the Portuguese settlers soon after the discovery of the country. After being submitted to a …

Background Genomic best linear unbiased prediction methods assume that all markers
explain the same fraction of the genetic variance and do not account effectively for genes …

In conventional small ruminant breeding programs, only pedigree and phenotype records
are used to make selection decisions but prospects of including genomic information are …

Goats are usually raised under harsh environmental conditions and have a unique ability to
take advantage of marginal areas. The diversity of goat genetic resources throughout the …

The introduction of exotics is common in forestry, and majorly important species, like
eucalypts, poplar, and Casuarina sp., occupy vast areas in the Indian subcontinent …

Genetic diversity was assessed in the Portuguese native breeds of goats Algarvia (AL),
