数据库简述：native pig and chicken breed database
所属国家/地区：Korea, Republic of
数据库主要信息：Indigenous (native) breeds of livestock have higher disease resistance and adaptation to the environment due to high genetic diversity. However, even though their extinction rate is accelerated due to the increase of commercial breeds, natural disaster, and civil war, there is a lack of a well-established database for the native breeds. Thus, we construct the native pig and chicken breed database (NPCDB) which integrated information available on the breeds from around the world. It is a nonprofit public database aimed to provide genetic resources information of indigenous pig and chicken breeds for their conservation. NPCDB (http://npcdb.snu.ac.kr/) provides phenotypic information and population size of each breed as well as its specific habitat. Moreover, it provides information on the distribution of genetic resources across the country. The database will contribute to understanding of the breedÂ’s characteristics such as disease resistance and adaptation to environmental changes as well as the conservation of indigenous genetic resources.
