Microsatellite Analysis of Genetic Diversity in Indian Chicken Populations

Abstract: Characterization of genetic diversity by employing molecular tools is a prerequisite in developing strategies for conservation and utilization of poultry genetic resources. We assessed genetic variation within and between six Indian chicken populations (Naked Neck, White Silkies, Commercial Layer and Broiler, Giriraja and Desi) using nine microsatellite markers. Seven loci were polymorphic in all populations, with the number of alleles varying from -to ,1 per locus and ..+ to 2.0 per population. Average hetero… Show more

“…Takahashi and Nakamura (2007) reported a total of 83 alleles in four strains (NG1-4) of the Nagoya breed of chicken of Japan, with a range of mean number of alleles per microsatellite locus of 2.58-3.13, which is in agreement with the present study (mean alleles per locus of 3.21), though they used different sets of microsatellites and populations. The number of alleles observed in the present study, however, was lower than the number of alleles observed by earlier workers in other chicken populations (Cheng et al 1995;Yu et al 2006;Pirany et al 2007;Pandey et al 2005;Rajkumar et al 2008). The low polymorphism in this study could be due to long-term selection in the pure-line white leghorn populations, from which the crossbred populations were generated.…”

“…The low polymorphism in this study could be due to long-term selection in the pure-line white leghorn populations, from which the crossbred populations were generated. Pirany et al (2007) also observed low polymorphism in a commercial layer population. The genotype frequencies were distributed from low to moderate for most of the microsatellites, except for MCW0014, which varied from low to very high ( Table 2).…”

“…The mean effective number of alleles was 2.4, the lowest value (2.0) was found in B and L2 strains while the highest value was 2.7 in Classical chicken. This averaged value was equal to the one found in red jungle fowl population (2.4) but lower compared to the value of 3.7 found in Indian chickens using 9 microsatellite markers (Pirany et al, 2007). Among 13 populations, two populations, Hakka chicken and White broiler had no private alleles.…”

“…The observed number of private alleles averaged 2.6 for overall Pham et al: Genetic Diversity of Taiwan Chicken Breeds 10 TCOM populations. This value is lower than 10 alleles in red jungle fowl (Table 1) and 9.8 alleles in Indian chickens (Pirany et al, 2007). Allelic richness, based on minimum sample size of nine diploid individuals, averaged 3.3 which varied from 2.7 in B strain to 3.8 in Classical chicken, respectively.…”

“…Polymorphism of the region was in- (Weigend et al, 2010). Analysis of sequences of mtDNA control regions revealed that the variability of genetic diversity of native chicken breeds, which is high in Sri Lankan chickens (Silva et al, 2009), medium level in Zimbabwean and Indian chickens (Muchadeyi et al, 2008;Pirany et al, 2007) and low in Chinese, Japanese and several native African chickens (Niu et al, 2002;Oka et al, 2007;Muchadeyi et al, 2008). However, D-loop region in mtDNA may play a vital role in measurement of diversity and in describing and evaluating the population structure.…”
