TI  - Short tandem repeat based analysis of genetic variability in Kanarese buffalo of 
      South India.

AB  - The goal of the present study was assessing genetic diversity within Kanarese 
      buffalo, the dual purpose breed of South India. A total of 48 unrelated animals 
      were genotyped at 23 short tandem repeat (STR markers) loci. The total number of 
      observed alleles was 180 with a mean of 7.83 per locus, which varied from 3 to 12 
      across different loci. The mean observed and expected heterozygosity in South 
      Kanara buffaloes was estimated to be 0.518 and 0.712 respectively. Within 
      population inbreeding estimate (F(IS)) was significantly positive in most of the 
      investigated loci which resulted in significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg 
      equilibrium at 19 of 23 loci analyzed. Evaluation of South Kanara buffalo 
      population for mutation drift equilibrium revealed no significant heterozygosity 
      excess under three different models of evolution viz. infinite alleles model 
      (IAM), stepwise mutation model (SMM) and two phase model (TPM), thus indicating 
      the absence of any recent genetic bottleneck. The results of the present study 
      will help in formulating rational breeding strategies as well as conservation of 
      this important germplasm.
