Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, genetic studies were carried on about the analysis for native animals (cattle, horse, sheep and goat) and its wild relative animal (Saiga) to reveal the genetic positions, relationships and gene flow in Asia, especially in Central Asia and Kazakhstan which were a trade (on the silk road) to East Asia from Europe and West Asia, and were to reveal its own details. There was also important significance to utilize these results for future's preservation and utilization effectively of animal resources in Kazakhstan.
