Experimental rabbits,one of the most important experimental animals,played an imptant role in medical field. All kinds of genetic markers methods provided more simple, reliable research methods for system development, population genetic structure and quality control, and other fields. However, the application of domestic experimental rabbits is restricted because of their unstalbe quality and unclear genetic background. In this paper, applications of the technology of molecular markers on the analysis of genetic diversity of rabbits are summarized, aimed at providing some help to genetic testing of experimental rabbits.
