DNA Microsatellite Analysis Of The Thoroughbred Horse Population In Bulgaria. Genetic Relationships Between The Studied Sirelines
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: The genetic relationships in the Thoroughbred horse population in Bulgaria were studied based on the information of 13 microsatellite loci.The study includes 157 horses with affiliation to the five of the most influential sirelines in the breed.Obtained values for the genetic distances range from 0,048 to 0,302 and genetic identity range from 0,739 to 0,953.Most closely related are the lines of Blacklock and Touchstone which is corresponding with the results from the cluster analysis.In the UPGMA dendogram the lines of Blacklock, Touchstone and Birdcatcher formed a separate cluster.The rates of inbreeding for individuals within populations (Fis) are all negative which indicate a complete lack of heterozygote deficiency in the studied population.The within population index of inbreeding (Fst) indicate moderate genetic differentiation in the studied population.
