Abstract

HERNANDEZ, Darwin et al. Molecular characterization of the Colombian creole duck in four departments. Acta Agron. [online]. 2007, vol.56, n.3, pp.141-145. ISSN 0120-2812.

53 individuals of Muscovy ducks from Caldas, Risaralda, Antioquia and Valle del Cauca departments with three primers RAMs were evaluated. 71 polymorphic loci (61,2%) were generated with 0.19 of heterocigozity. The primer with the highest heterocigozity was CGA (0.23) and CA had the highest polymorphic loci (76.1%). The RAMs technique allowed to discriminate Anas and Cairina genus with an index of similarity of 0.83. At a 0.894 of similarity index, the Muscovy ducks formed 5 groups. The best primer to discriminate species was CCA (Fst= 0.274). The genetic differentiation was moderate (Fst= 0.2045).
