“…It is reported that there is a wide phenotypic variation within and between populations in Hair goat populations, which are bred in almost all regions of Türkiye and constitute a large part of the goat population (Cam et al, MNA is mean number of alleles, Ho is observed heterozygosity, He is expected heterozygosity, F IS is heterozygote deficiency, HWE is the number of loci not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P <0.05), and NPA is private alleles within-breed. 2010; Elmaz and Saatcı, 2017). The findings obtained in the presented study, which was carried out with a large sample, revealed that Hair goat populations have a high level of genetic diversity and that the microsatellites used can be used successfully to identify the genetic diversity in Hair goat populations.…”

Abstract. This study aimed to investigate the genetic characterization and diversity of Hair goats from 10 regions using 20 microsatellite markers. A total of 522 alleles were observed. The INRA0023 locus exhibited the greatest number of alleles (48), while the DRBP1 locus had the highest effective allele number (16.27), and the BM1818 and DRBP1 loci had the highest polymorphic information content value (0.94). The expected heterozygosity value ranged from 0.85 (ILSTS011) to 0.94 (BM1818, SRCRSP15, and DRBP1). The Hair goat populations in Konya and Hatay displayed the lowest and highest allele numbers, with values of 10.40 and 16.25, respectively. The fixation index (FIS) values are significant in defining population structures and determining the extent of heterozygosity losses. The FIS values exhibited a range of 0.031 in Muǧla to 0.226 in Burdur. A total of 107 unique alleles were identified in Hair goat populations. However, it is noteworthy that, out of all the alleles, only 25 had a frequency exceeding 5 %. The results indicate that the microsatellite markers utilized demonstrate sufficient levels of polymorphism, making them appropriate for efficiently investigating the genetic variability of Hair goat populations.
