“…A neighbor‐joining network used to analyze 16 goat populations in the littoral zone of the Yangtze River revealed that most populations were clustered together based on their geography, such as the two Qinghai populations (QH and CM) and the Hubei populations (EB and YC), which grouped together into Cluster II and Cluster VII, respectively. These results were consistent with many previous reports regarding the different population relationships among goats (Bulut et al., ). However, Cluster I and Cluster IV consisted of different ecogeographic populations, which indicated that the gene flow and migration among populations occurred with a high frequency in the Chongqing, Sichuan, and Yunnan goat populations.…”

“…To date, the global diversity of local goats has been assessed using various molecular tools, and such studies have been conducted in Spain (Ferrando et al., ; Manunza et al., ), Africa (Awotunde et al., ; Kibegwa, Githui, Jung'a, Badamana, & Nyamu, ; Mdladla, Dzomba, Huson, & Muchadeyi, ), the Americas (Carvalho, Paiva, Araújo, Mariante, & Blackburn, ), Europe (Bulut, Kurar, Ozsensoy, Altunok, & Nizamlioglu, ; Windig et al., ), and Asia (Lin et al., ; Nicoloso et al., ; Waki, Sasazaki, Kobayashi, & Mannen, ; Yadav, Gahlot, Gahlot, Asraf, & Yadav, ).…”

The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity and population structure of goats in the Yangtze River region using microsatellite and mtDNA to better understand the current status of those goat genetic diversity and the effects of natural landscape in fashion of domestic animal genetic diversity. The genetic variability of 16 goat populations in the littoral zone of the Yangtze River was estimated using 21 autosomal microsatellites, which revealed high diversity and genetic population clustering with a dispersed geographical distribution. A phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial D‐loop region (482 bp) was conducted in 494 goats from the Yangtze River region. In total, 117 SNPs were reconstructed, and 173 haplotypes were identified, 94.5% of which belonged to lineages A and B. Lineages C, D, and G had lower frequencies (5.2%), and lineage F haplotypes were undetected. Several high‐frequency haplotypes were shared by different ecogeographically distributed populations, and the close phylogenetic relationships among certain low‐frequency haplotypes indicated the historical exchange of genetic material among these populations. In particular, the lineage G haplotype suggests that some west Asian goat genetic material may have been transferred to China via Muslim migration.

“…The allelic diversity in Sri Lankan goats was found to be in a similar range as reported for South East Asian [Malaysia (Marini et al, 2014); Thailand (Anothaisinthawee et al, 2012)] and South Asian goats [Pakistan (Vahidi et al, 2014); Bangladesh (Afroz et al, 2010)]. However, higher allelic diversity was reported in Indian (Rout et al, 2008), Iranian (Vahidi et al, 2014), Turkish (Bulut et al, 2016), Saudi Arabian (Canon et al, 2006), Nigerian (Murital et al, 2015), North African (Elbeltagy et al, 2016) and European (Canon et al, 2006) goats. Allelic diversity in Korean goats (Kim et al, 2002) was observed to be much lower than Sri Lankan goats.…”

The present study aimed at the genetic characterization of five major goat populations of Sri Lanka including four indigenous populations (Jaffna Local-JFL, Kottukachchiya-KOT, Southern-SLS and North Central-SNC) and one stabilized crossbred (German Boer x indigenous goats, also known as "Sri Lankan Boer"-SLB). Genetic diversity was evaluated using 15 microsatellite markers and the mitochondrial DNA D-loop variation. Allelic diversity and observed and expected heterozygosities were moderate, but less than Eurasian and Indian goat breeds. The overall mean estimated inbreeding coefficient (F IS) was 0.069 and significant heterozygote deficiency was detected in JFL (P < 0.001), KOT (P < 0.01) and SLS (P < 0.05), indicating population-specific drift or selection of the loci assessed. Genetic differentiation among populations was low and the phylogenetic clustering pattern was in line with the geographical location of goat populations. Although pair-wise Cavalli-Sforza and Edwards chord distance clustered SLS and SLB separately from the rest of the populations, Bayesian clustering clearly showed lack of discrete genetic structure in Sri Lankan goat populations despite significant morphological and phenotypic differences among them. Mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences revealed significantly high haplotype diversity with the existence of maternal haplogroups 'A' and 'B'. Analysis of mtDNA sequences indicated maternal origins of Jaffna Local, Kotukachchiya and Sri Lankan South distinct from the other goat populations.

“…Nevertheless, high H O values (i.e., 0.880 < H O < 0.980) are also reported in the literature for other goat breeds at different microsatellite loci (Araújo et al, 2006;Oliveira et al, 2010;Bulut et al, 2016). The mean values of observed and expected heterozygosities in the breeds analyzed were high (≥0.696; Table 4), suggesting a high genetic variability.…”

Genetic diversity and relatedness between Canindé and British Alpine goat breeds in Northeastern Brazil accessed by microsatellite markers

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to access the genetic diversity and relatedness between Canindé and British Alpine goat breeds in the States of Piauí and Ceará using microsatellite markers. Genomic DNA was isolated from hair samples of 99 goats belonging to six different flocks. A panel of polymorphic heterologous microsatellite loci was used to genotype individuals. The microsatellite markers resulted in a total number of 145 alleles, with an average of 8.5 alleles per locus. The observed and expected heterozygosities were ≥0.687 and ≥0.627, respectively, for all loci. The polymorphic information content showed that all loci were highly informative with an overall mean of 0.757. Overall F ST across all populations and loci was 18%, which was consistent with the coefficient of gene differentiation (G ST = 0.104). AMOVA revealed that 12.8% of the variation was captured between breeds. The Bayesian STRUCTURE clustering detected the maximum likelihood for a model of two genetically distinct groups, in agreement with the number of predefined studied breeds and the two-dimensional plot from the PCoA analysis. The exotic British Alpine breed and the naturalized Brazilian Canindé breed were clearly differentiated by the microsatellite markers, indicating that these two breeds have distant genetic identities, despite the phenotypic similarity.
