Discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) plots using 54 microsatellite DNA markers. (A) DAPC plot of 21 chicken lines. The populations are subdivided into three groups: four Fayoumi-derived lines, seven lines of European origin, and ten lines of Asian origin. (B) DAPC of 17 lines excluding four Fayoumi lines. Each population group is enclosed by a circle, which covers 80% of the distribution of individuals of each population.
