Determining the genetic diversity of PH carabao thru microsatellite markers

The Gene Pool for Philippine carabao (Bubalus bubalis) swamp buffalo for conservation and management is at PCC at Cagayan State University (PCC at CSU). With its current efforts to preserve the live population of swamp buffaloes with superior genetics, the question is whether the conservation at PCC at CSU is enough to represent the Philippine carabao’s genetics in the country. Is there a genetic diversity of this indigenous animal? How would we know if the answer is “YES” or “NO”? First, a conclusive molecularbased approach to Philippine carabao genetic diversity using informative genetic markers is necessary.
