[Objective] This article uses RAPD marker technology to analyze the genetic diversity of four Pelodiscus sinensis in Chongqing area. [Method] In this study, we mainly selected farmed Pelodiscus sinensis samples from 4 regions (Tongnan, Yongchuan, Jiangjin, and Changshou). [Result] By using 20...

In Germany, many autochthonous sheep breeds have developed, adapted to mountain, heath, moorland, or other marginal sites, but breeds imported from other countries have also contributed to the domestic breeds, particularly improving wool and meat quality. Selective breeding and the intense use of...

Objective: To study the genetic diversity of Xinjiang sheep with fine wool by whole-genome resequencing. Methods: Whole-genome resequencing data of Xinjiang sheep with fine wool and whole-genome resequencing data of Bayinbruck, Altay, and Qira black sheep downloaded from NCBI were used to assess...

The Ajamaru rainbowfish (Melanotaenia ajamaruensis) is a West Papuan endemic and has been successfully cultured. The study aims to determine the genetic diversity of the Ajamaru rainbowfish ornamental fish populations that breed with differences in the breeding ratio to offspring. Tail fin samples...

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and genetic structure of Kirgiz sheep, and effectively protect and utilize its genetic resources. Sheep SNP 50K v3 chip was used to detect the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of 61 Kirgiz sheep (31 rams and 30 ewes). Plink software ...

Since its introduction from the United States in 1876, the invasive North American Eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) has contributed to the decline of the native Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) in Britain. The aim of this study was to assess the overall impact of repeated...

Environmental challenges and preference of high-yielding breeds have resulted in extinction of various local cattle populations as well as the loss of genetic diversity in modern cattle breeds. Genetic diversity, however, plays a vital role both in cattle industry to meet current and future demand...

The genetic diversity of cultured species (e.g., plants and fish) has decreased as intensive agriculture and aquaculture have increased in recent decades. Maintaining genetic diversity in agriculture is a significant concern. To test whether aquaculture affects the genetic diversity of aquatic...

Pedigree analyses describing gene pool and genetic diversity frequently have been performed for multiple livestock species. In honey bees, comparable studies are not yet available, and therefore, we aimed to investigate the genetic diversity of two Austrian Apis mellifera carnica breeding...

The German Shepherd dog breed is the most popular breed globally and in Brazil. The study of the population structure through pedigree information is an essential tool to understand the history of the Brazilian German Shepherd dog breed. This study evaluated the status of genetic diversity and...
