What is Assessment of the population structure of five Finnish dog breeds with microsatellites about?

Genetic variabilities within and between Finnish populations of Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Wirehaired Dachshunds, Pembroke Welsh Corgis and Bedlington Terriers were quantified with microsatellite allele numbers, observed heterozygosities, expected heterozygosities, __F__IS estimates, __F__ST estimates and __D__S distances. In a sample of 50 individuals from each breed and ten polymorphic loci, the highest genetic diversity was exhibited in the Wirehaired Dachsunds and lowest in the Bedlington Terriers. Although statistically significant deviations from the Hardy–Weinberg (H–W) equilibrium were observed, they occurred at an unexpectedly low frequency. Most strikingly, the extremely small Bedlington Terrier population displayed genotypes in H–W proportions in all investigated loci. The H–W deviations always occurred with positive __F__IS estimates, which, on average, were not larger than values reported for free‐living canids. Genetic differentiation between the breeds was very large. As a comparison, present estimates were, on average, over two times higher than previously observed between breeds of sheep, and over two times higher than the highest estimates reported betwe
