Genotype data of Philippine native pigs, Duroc, Landrace, Large White and Berkshire, using 20 ISAG-FAO recommended microsatellite markers

Microsatellite genotyping is a cost-effective method for the genetic diversity analysis of under-studied populations, such as the Philippine native pigs. We genotyped n = 196 pigs representing 7 Philippine native pig populations (n = 20 to 27 for each population) and 4 commercial transboundary breeds (n = 9 to 11 for each population). Twenty microsatellite markers, recommended by the International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG)-FAO, were used to generate the dataset for population analysis (S0005, S0155, S0026, S0355, Sw830, Sw2410, Swr1941, Sw632, Sw24, S0228, Sw936, S0097, Sw857, Sw122, Sw2406, IGF1, Sw240, S0090, S0226, Sw72). S0218 was used as a sex marker (data not shown). All loci, except Sw24, did not deviate from Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Each marker showed an average PIC of 0.779. A total of 260 alleles of length 86 to 272 bp were obtained. Using this dataset, we determined population structure and conservation priorities in the Philippine native pigs. This dataset contain...
