Mitochondrial DNA Diversity in Large White Pigs in Russia.

ABSTRACT: The Large White pig is the most commonly raised commercial pig breed in the world. The aim of this work was to investigate D-loop mtDNA in Large White pigs (n = 402) of various selections bred in the Russian Federation from 2000 to 2019. The general sample consisted of three groups: Old (n = 78) (Russian selection, 2000-2010); Imp (n = 123) (imported to Russia in 2008-2014); New (n = 201) (2015-2019). The synthesized score (Fz) was calculated by analyzing the main PCA (principal component analysis components). An affiliation to Asian or European haplogroups was determined according to the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information). In the study, we defined 46 polymorphic sites and 42 haplotypes. Significant distinctions between groups Old, Imp and New
