Population Genetic Structure and Contribution of Philippine Chickens to the Pacific Chicken Diversity Inferred From Mitochondrial DNA

The Philippines is considered one of the biodiversity hotspots for animal genetic resources. In spite of this, population genetic structure, genetic diversity, and past population history of Philippine chickens are not well studied. In this study, phylogeny reconstruction and estimation of populatio...
