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

<p>Microsatellite genotyping is a cost-effective method for the genetic diversity analysis of under-studied populations, such as the Philippine native pigs. We genotyped <em>n</em> = 196 pigs representing 7 Philippine native pig populations (<em>n </em>= 20 to 27 for each population) and 4 commercial transboundary breeds (<em>n</em> = 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 <em>PIC </em>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 contains both the raw files (.fsa) and the processed file (.txt). This dataset can be used by colleagues to increase their research coverage and achieve multi-population and multi-country comparisons, especially among Asian indigenous pigs.</p>
