Genetic diversity analysis using lowly polymorphic dominant markers: The example of AFLP in pigs
Article Abstract:
The results obtained with a set of AFLP markers in a study of 59 pig breeds are described. A discussion is presented on the hypothesis underlying the moment estimations and various issues relating to the biallelic, dominant and lowly polymorphic nature of this set of AFLP markers and about their use as compared to microsatellites for measuring genetic diversity.

Discrimination between selected lines of pigs using AFLP markers
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the use of amplified fragment length polymorphic markers in discrimination between pig lines. Results have demonstrated that these markers are effective means of discriminating between divergently selected lines of pigs.
