Mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequence variation among 5 maternal lines of the Zemaitukai horse breed

Genetic variation in Zemaitukai horses was investigated using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing. The study was performed on 421 bp of the mitochondrial DNA control region, which is known to be more variable than other sections of the mitochondrial genome. Samples from each of the remaining matern...
