Abstract:
PCR-SSCP and sequencing of the left domain in ovine mitochondrial control region revealed that all 202 sheep from Small Tail Han sheep, Wuzhumuqin sheep, Hu Yang, Suffol, Sharolai and hybrids between Dorset (Male) and Small Tail Han sheep (Female) can be classified into two types: common type and mutation type, this result suggested that modern domestic sheep originate from two main ancestors.
