Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships in local cattle breeds of Senegal based on autosomal microsatellite markers.
2015
Aim:
In Senegal, uncontrolled cross-breeding of cattle breeds and changes in production systems are assumed to lead to an increase of gene flow between populations. This might constitute a relevant threat to livestock improvement. Therewith, this study was carried out to assess the current genetic diversity and the phylogenetic relationships of the four native Senegalese cattle breeds (Gobra zebu, Maure zebu, Djakore, and N’Dama).
