Genetics similarity among four breeds of sheep in Egypt detected by random amplified polymorphic DNA markers

Genetics similarity among four breeds of sheep in Egypt detected by random amplified polymorphic DNA markers

Full Length Research Paper

A genetic analysis using RAPD markers was performed for studying variation in four breeds of sheep (Baladi, Barki, Rahmani and Saffolk). Nineteen random primers were used to amplify DNA fragments in these breeds. RAPD patterns with a level of polymorphism were detected between breeds. Results showed closer proximity of Barki to Rahmani and Baladi (95.7 and 91.3%), respectively.



Keywords: Sheep, breeds, RAPD, genetic similarity.
