Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationships Using Protein and Dna Markers Among Some Chicken Breeds in Egypt

A successful chicken breeding program depends on the complete knowledge and understanding of the genetic diversity of the available breeding materials. Several methods have been used to investigate the genetic variation of this animal. Many efforts have mBlood samples were collected from a total of 20 chicken genotypes. The chosen breeds were: a- Egyptian native chicken breeds (local breeds): Fayoumi, Sinai and Dandarawy. b- Crossbred types: Dokki 4, Mandarah, Golden Montazah, Silver Montazah, El-Salam, M
