Abstract

RAPD analysis was performed with 31 selected single primers to study genetic diversity of two strains of miniature pigs, The percentages of polymorphisic loic in or between two strains of miniature pigs were 30.9%, 29.2% and 25.7% respectively, and the average genetic distances in and between two strains of miniature pigs were 0.120, 0.072, and 0.067 respectively. These results suggested that genetic diversity and genetic variability were poorer in and between two strains of miniature pigs than ordinary breeds' pigs.
