GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CABALLO MONCHINO BREED AND ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER SPANISH LOCAL EQUINE BREEDS

摘要

SummaryIn this study 12 microsatellite markers are used to characterize the Caballo Monchino horse breed and to known the genetic relationships with other Spanish local horse breeds. The genetic diversity, allelic frequencies, heterozygosity, Wright’s F statistics (FIS and FST) was calculated, and to establish the genetics relationship between Mediterranean horse populations a correspon-dence analysis was carried out.
