Abstract

The genetic diversity of Russian local goats was estimated for the first time based on whole-genome SNP data. The tendencies of decrease in the effective population sizes were revealed, but the calculated biodiversity indicators are not inferior to the values obtained for the world goat breeds. The results indicate that there are still possibilities to preserve the valuable gene pool of local breeds.
