Genetic Diversity Analysis of Eight Microsatellite Loci in Tan Sheep

Xiaoxiao Lv

Abstract

Eight microsatellite loci were selected to analyze the genetic diversity of tan sheep. The allelic frequency, the effective number of allele (Ne), heterozygosity (H) and polymorphisms information content (PIC) were calculated at all microsatellite loci. The results indicated that the Ne, H and PIC in the locus OarFCB128 were the highest (Ne=10.26, H= 0.902, PIC =0.885); the Ne, H, PIC in the locus MCM38 were the lowest (Ne =6.18, H =0.838, PIC =0.809); the polymorphism of eight microsatellite loci in tan sheep was rich. Therefore, genetic heterozygosity of tan sheep was high, genetic diversity was rich. The selected microsatellite loci can be used to evaluate genetic diversity of tan sheep.
