In the 1990s, a study based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) inferred low levels of nucleotide variation (0.18% diversity) in cheetah mtDNa relative to comparable studies in other species (Menotti-Raymond and O'Brien, 1993; Table 6 .1). an early study of cheetah Mhc I based on RFLP markers showed reduced genetic diversity in cheetah (observed heterozygosity = 0.05-0.07) compared to other species, which was only comparable to that of lions from isolated populations (Gir Forest and Ngorongoro crater; Yuhki and O'Brien, 1990 ; Table 6 .1). ./cache/cord-260485-o5wpcxdp.txt ./txt/cord-260485-o5wpcxdp.txt
