Byline: Maria Riaz, Aleem Ahmed Khan, Muhammad Babar, Noreen Akhter, Shahbaz Muhammad and Imran Khaliq Abstract.- In this study random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to infer the genetic profile of the black francolin (Francolinus francolinus, Galliformes) (N = 23) collected in five Pakistani areas (Alipur, Bait Suvai, Chakwal, Haroonabad and Rakni). A total of 269 different RAPD bands were obtained using fifteen primers. Estimates of the percentage of overall polymorphism (87.79%), Shannon's diversity information index (H = 0.421) and Nei's average gene diversity index (IN = 0.276) were comparatively high. UPGMA dendrogram based on Jaccard similarity index was constructed.
