Seven cattle populations indigenous to East Africa and three reference breeds (Sahiwal, N'Dama and Friesian) were characterized with 18 autosomal microsatellite loci. Within-breed diversity was high in all breeds with observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.511 (+ or -) 0.214 (N'Dama) to 0.660 (...

Genetic characterization of indigenous East African cattle breeds using microsatellite DNA markers
Genetic markers are being used by scientists worldwide in both animal and plant related breeding and Development efforts. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is a new institute formed in January 1995 by the amalgamation of the former ILCA (International Livestock Centre for Afri...

Genetic management of the woody legumes Sesbania sesban in sub-Saharan Africa; implications from random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. Poster presentation
Camels are important resource for the desert-dwelling communities. They are a source of income, milk and meat and often play an important sociocultural role in pastoralist societies. In order to help formulate a rational conservation, utilisation and Development policy for the species in Kenya, a...
The origin of the American hair sheep is diverse with likely early introductions from the Canary Islands, followed by introductions from the African and European continents. Using 14 microsatellite loci, we studied 3 American hair sheep (St. Croix, Barbados Blackbelly, and Gulf Coast Native), 6 E...
