The chicken (Gallus gallus), like most avian species, has a very distinct karyotype consisting of many micro- and a few macrochromosomes. While it is known that recombination frequencies are much higher for micro- as compared to macrochromosomes, there is limited information on differences in lin...

Comparison of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype diversity on macro- and microchromosomes in chicken
Sri Lanka is a tropical island in the Indian Ocean. Due to its geographical location and position, most parts of the country are hot and humid. Based on the annual rainfall, elevation, soil and on terrain condition, 46 agro-ecological zones could be identified within the island. The farming syste...

Indigenous animal genetic resources in Sri Lanka. Status, potential and opportunities
Traditional ‘random’ sampling strategy for molecular characterization has revealed low genetic differentiation and weak genetic structure among Asian and African indigenous, non-descript chicken populations although
they carried high within-population phenotypic and molecular genetic diversity. I...
