Combining the technique of multiplex-PCR and the fluorescent semi-automated detection, a large-scale genome scanning was performed for 440 chickens, which was derived from China Agricultural University chicken resource families, within three generations. Fifty-five microsatellite markers were analyzed for this study. Those 55 microsatellite loci accorded with the characters of Mendelian co-inheritance. The heterozygosities ranged from zero to 0.89, with 72% of loci having a heterozygosity of more than 0.60. The polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0 to 0.85, in which 70% of those loci had a PIC of more than 0.50 but their distribution varied in line A and line C. The allele frequency was significantly different between line A and line C at most loci (P < 0.01). At the same time, gene accordance inclination was found in line C. The Nei population resemble coefficient and standard genetic distance were 0.1002 and 0.8928.
