Abstract |
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis for
three breeds (Commercial broiler, Aseel and Karknath) of poultry using
thirty three primers was conducted. A total of 198 bands (136
polymorphic) generated 96.96% polymorphism. Mean number of band per
individual was 113.16, ranging from 3 to 11 types and polymorphic
information content ranged 0.23 to 0.47. Jaccard’s similarity index
based on RAPD revealed 49% average similarity with a range of 14 to 83%.
The SAHN clustering based on UPGMA algorithms put accession in two
groups, one with two genotypes and another with 10 accessions. The high
within and between groups diversity indicated that breed (Aseel and
Karknath) would be useful and may be utilized for breeding program.
