Microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA based genetic characterization of Chitarangi sheep population inhabiting
Fazilka and Muktsar districts of Punjab and Sriganganagar district and adjoining areas of Rajasthan was carried
out, and genetic diversity measures were analysed. High estimates of allele diversity (9.875±0.641) and gene
diversity (0.712±0.027) were observed across the population. A significant positive FIS (0.096±0.031) value suggested
a deficiency in the number of heterozygotes in Chitarangi sheep. The population revealed presence of substantial
genetic diversity and the typical L-type distribution of allelic frequencies indicated the absence of any recent
bottlenecks in Chitarangi sheep and no mode shift was detected in this population. Majority of haplotypes identified
through mitochondrial DNA based analysis of Chitarangi sheep grouped with major haplogroup A that is
predominantly of Asian origin. The genetic characterization of Chitarangi sheep will help in devising suitable
strategies for its genetic improvement, management and recognition at National level.
