Breeds: ALAI, Alai; AYKL, Aykol; GISR, Gissar; KYCW, Kyrgyz coarse wool; TNSH, Tien-Shan; n, number of individuals; Ar, rarified allelic richness; Ho, observed heterozygosity; He(u), unbiased expected heterozygosity; Fis, inbreeding coefficient based on the difference between He(u) and Ho with CI (confidence interval) = 95% (in square brackets); Ne5 – effective population size estimated for five generations ago, Ne50 – population size estimated for fifty generations ago.
