Short summary
This study was conducted with comprehensive sampling of a breed that is widely raised in the region near the Fertile Crescent, which serves as the cradle of domestication, utilizing 20 microsatellite markers based on a large sample set obtained from 10 different regions. Our findings emphasize the substantial genetic diversity within these populations, further validating the reliability and effectiveness of the markers employed for identifying and assessing the genetic diversity of this breed.
