Conservation genetics of endangered horse breeds

Abstract

Molecular methods and equine genetic diversity The use of markers for characterising genetic resources A review on the methods of parentage and inbreeding analysis with molecular markers Genetic distance as a tool in the conservation of rare breeds Variation of mitochondrial DNA in Lipizzan horses Analysis of inbreeding in the genetic resource of the Old Kladrub horse in the period from 1993 to 2003 The numerical and genetic status of native and pony breeds in Britain Characterisation of several Connemara Pony populations Genetic characterisation of the Croatian autochthonous breeds based on polymorphic blood proteins and mtDNA data Estimation of genetic distance between traditional breeds in Hungary Genetic diversity of the Akhal-Teke breed in Turkmenistan based on microsatellite analysis Rare breeds in Northern Europe Use of probabilities of gene origin to describe genetic varation in two endangered Norwegian breeds Bardigiano selection: a genetic global index for linear type traits The Italian Heavy Draught Horse breed: origin, breeding program, efficiency of the selection scheme and inbreeding Genetic characterization of Pentro young horses by microsatellite markers The Retuertas horse: the missing link in the Iberoamerican breeds origin?
