THE USE OF MOLECULAR METHODS ON WILD BOARS (Sus scrofa L.)

Abstract

The existence of high diversity between animal populations and species, negative human infl uence through overexploitation, as well as changes of natural habitats, both ensured the fact that animal entered into the focus of many molecular biological investigations. The goal of this paper has been directed on the review of the most used techniques in the differentiation of animal populations, including their advantages and weaknesses.
