[Formation of genetic polymorphism in connection with phylogenesis and microevolution of the domestic dog Canis familiaris L].

The analysis of genetic relationships between numerous breeds and populations of domestic dogs of Asian and European origin was performed by studying their polymorphism for 14 loci of biochemical markers. Phylogenetic positions of different breed groups, related to one another and to ancestral forms from the center of domestication, were elucidated. Directions of gene flow in the formation of breed as well as dynamics and vectors of the forming genetic structure in microevolution of this extremely polytypic species, were established.
