[Genetic aspects of microphylogeny of nine breeds of rabbits raised in Russia]

Distribution of the frequencies of alleles and genotypes of albumin, post-albumin, transferrin, post-transferrin and haemoglobin in 9 breeds of rabbits in Russia was analyzed. Genetic distances between these breeds were defined and the dendrograms of their phylogeny composed. The smallest distance was observed between the breeds white giant and gray giant. White giant, gray giant, california and soviet chinchilla breeds were in the first cluster of the dendrograms. The other breeds: butterfly, black-brown and black-fire constituted the second cluster. The gold and silver breeds composed the separate branches. The character of localization of the breeds on the dendrograms is in good agreement with the real interrelations of the rabbit breeds known from the history and genealogy of their formation.
