본 연구는 한우의 지역별 유전적 다양성 및 집단간의 유연관계를 평가하기 위하여 경기, 강원, 충남, 충북, 전남, 전북, 경남 그리고 경북 8개 지역에서 비교적 지역간의 이동이 적은 번식우를 대상으로 공시축을 선발하여 분석을 실시하였다. 각 microsatellite marker의 평균 대립유전자의 수는 7.5개로 검출되었다. 관측된 대립유전자의 이형접합율을 보면 전북(CEB)과 전남(CEN)에서 가장 높게 나타났지만 기대되는 이형접합율은 전체 평균보다
Genotype data from seven microsatellites typed in 231 animals were used to estimate the genetic structures of eight cow population distributed by regional area in Hanwoo (Korean cattle). In total, 53 alleles were detected from the genotyping of seven microsatellite markers. The average of expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.682 to 0.734 in 8 population of Hanwoo. Even though there were also some of alleles that were found in only specific regional population, similar frequency pattern for the most of alleles appeared in various 8 population. Genetic distances between populations were obtained using STDUPGMA method to construct a phylogenetic tree. The tree illustrated that most individuals were grouped on the basis of populations, distributed by the regional area. Some of genetic parameter on the basis of microsatellite gonotyping appears to provide a useful tool for examining the regional area kindship and genetic variation in Hanwoo.
