Five Egyptian sheep breeds investigated with 22 microsatellites. A sampling focused on desert breeds showing strong adaptation to extreme conditions. Two Algerian breeds genotyped to expand the results at a larger scale. Clear genetic structuration, with particular genetic proximity between desert breeds. Sohaghi appeared admixed and have to be carefully monitored.
