This study aims to examine the genetic structure and diversity levels of seven indigenous Greek horse breeds: Andravida, Pindos, Thessaly, Skyros, Penia, Messara Rodos, using 15 microsatellites. Phenotypic traits were combined with factorial correspondence analyses create two datasets: one “Baseline” containing typical samples, “Unknown” non-typical or disputed origin samples. In horses, 142 alleles found. The mean observed effective number alleles, polymorphism information content allelic...
Abstract Background The indigenous cattle populations from Greece and Cyprus have decreased to small numbers are currently at risk of extinction due socio-economic reasons, geographic isolation crossbreeding with commercial breeds. This study represents the first comprehensive genome-wide analysis 10 continental Greek islands, one Cyprus, compares them 104 international breeds using more than 46,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results We estimated several parameters genetic...
In this study, we analyzed microsatellite variation in DNA obtained from hair samples collected 46 local Greek horse populations originating the islands of Skyros (Skyros Small Horse; n=9), Rhodes (Rodos n=6), Lesvos (with traditional miniature Midili Horse (n=2) and larger Gaiter (n=22)) Crete (Messara) (n=7). We used 15 autosomal markers (VHL20, HTG4, AHT4, HMS7, HTG6, AHT5, HMS6, ASB2, HTG10, HTG7, HMS3, HMS2, ASB17, ASB23 LEX33) for genetic characterization above exploration their...
