Sp. Knyazev et al., The formation of genetic polymorphism in the context of phylogeny and microevolution in domestic dog Canis familiaris L., GENETIKA, 34(11), 1998, pp. 1528-1536
The analysis of genetic relationships between numerous breeds and populatio
ns of domestic dogs of Asian and European origin was performed by studying
their polymorphism for 14 loci of biochemical markers. Phylogenetic positio
ns of different breed groups, related to one another and to ancestral forms
from the center of domestication, were elucidated. Directions of gene flow
in the formation of breed as well as dynamics and vectors of the forming g
enetic structure in microevolution of this extremely polytypic species, wer
e established.
