Seventy alleles were detected across the six loci. Total number of alleles per locus （TNA） varied from 3 （INRA005 locus） to 16 （ETH 152 locus）. The mean number of allele （MNA） across the six loci in Iraqi indigenous buffalo was 11.4. The locus ETHI52 was the most polymorphic marker according to its number of allele （16）, the expected heterozygosity （0.86） and polymorphism information content （0.80） number of alleles （3）, expected Heterozygosity （0.1-0.2） and polymorphism information content （0.1-0.2）. Results showed that these markers were suitable in population genetics researches. It was concluded that a high degree of genetic diversity exist in the Iraqi buffalo populations.展开更多
