Abstract: In this study the genetic variation among 6 Iranian native goats population was investigated using 10 microsatellite markers (LSCV38, LSCV41, LSCV36, TGLA122 MAF64, oarFCB304, oarJMP23, oarAE133, BM121 and BM4621) every 10 loci were amplified successfully but the data resulting from the LSCV38 locus was ignored because of a large number of Null allele during the analysis steps. The rest nine loci in all populations were 100% polymorphic. Lori (LOR), Raeeni (RAN), Najdi (NAJ) and Korki Jonoob Khorasan (KAJ) populations did not present no deviation of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). Morkhoz (MOR) and Tali (TAL) population presented no deviation from HWE in locus-population components (p<0.005) but considering all populations did not observe deviation from HWE (p<0.005). MOR and NAJ population had the highest and the lowest genetic variation within population 0.847 and 0.725, respectively. Unbiased average Heterozygosity (He) was expected by Nei. TAL and NAJ population had the lowest genetic distance (0.2728) and the highest genetic distances considering above criteria were for LOR and TAL population (0.7448). Phylogeny tree based on UPGMA method with DS criterion has been put Iranian goat population in 2 great clusters. Assignment test, considering the analysis nine loci, assigning individual 2 population verify high confidence.
