ABSTRACT
To explore the genetic divergence and phylogeny of Chinese indigenous sheep breeds, in the current study, we analyzed the polymorphisms of 5 structural loci in ten sheep populations, including Sishui Fur, Sunite, Wurank, Bayinbuluke, Altay, Small-Tailed Han, Wadi, Tan, Tong and Hu sheep. The data were then compared with those from an additional 13 Asian and 4 European sheep populations acquired by the same experimental method. Based on the genetic distance and the results of a cluster analysis, we constructed the phylogenetic relationship of 27 populations. The results showed that the sheep populations in this study could be classified into four genetic groups "Mongolian", "Tibetan", "South-Southeast Asian" and "European" sheep groups. All 10 Chinese sheep breeds belonged to the "Mongolian sheep" lineage; however, Finnish Landrace sheep and Yunnan sheep could not be classified into any of the four groups. These results could provide a good reference for the protection and utilization of primary breed resources in China and phylogenic research on Asian sheep populations.
