Genotype data from seven microsatellites typed in 231 animals were used to estimate the genetic structures of eight cow population distributed by regional area in Hanwoo (Korean cattle). In total, 53 alleles were detected from the genotyping of seven microsatellite markers. The average of expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.682 to 0.734 in 8 population of Hanwoo. Even though there were also some of alleles that were found in only specific regional population, similar frequency pattern for the most of alleles appeared in various 8 population. Genetic distances between populations were obtained using STDUPGMA method to construct a phylogenetic tree. The tree illustrated that most individuals were grouped on the basis of populations, distributed by the regional area. Some of genetic parameter on the basis of microsatellite gonotyping appears to provide a useful tool for examining the regional area kindship and genetic variation in Hanwoo.

The purpose of this study was to assess the genetic variation and establish the relationship amongst Hanwoo, Angus and Holstein breed. The genetic characteristics and variability within Hanwoo(300), Angus(80) and Holstein(50) were estimated on the basis of relationships determined using the 10 kinds of microsatellite, which is located on different chromosomes. Frequencies of microsatellites markers were used to estimate heterozygosities, polymorphic information content(PIC) and genetic distances. The PICs ranged from 0.604 to 0.872(Hanwoo), from 0.562 to 0.812(Angus) and from 0.471 to 0.828(Holstein). Observed heterozygosity and PIC of Hanwoo are the highest among the analyzed breeds. Additionally, Estimates of genetic distance can be utilized to identify genetic relationships between Hanwoo and the other breed. Genetic distances(0.233) between Hanwoo and Angus was lower than distances between Hanwoo and Holstein(2.283). Also, Genetic distances between Angus and Holstein was shown for(2,400). The other side, each individuals were not ramified to different group and were spread evenly in phylogenetic dendrogram about all the populations.
