Short summary
This paper contributes considerably to our knowledge about phylogenetic relations in four Polish sheep breeds as well as the genetic origin of them. We analysed polymorphisms of the mitochondrial control region (D-loop) in the following sheep breeds: Wrzosówka, Świniarka, Pomorska, and Wielkopolska. All but Swiniarka represent the two main mitochondrial haplogroups, i.e. haplogroup B (more frequent) and haplogroup A. The Świniarka breed is exclusively made up of haplogroup B sequences.
