Genotypic distribution of MSTN gene polymorphisms involved in racing performance in Camelus dromedarius

Camel racing is one of the popular sports around world and growing rapidly especially in Gulf countries. has adapted itself to harsh draught climate desert. ?his quality camel makes it best choice industry. Pakistani breed Dromedarius camels are as good Omani Sudanese breeds their potential. Myostatin (Growth differentiation factor 8) a protein coded by MSTN gene. Polymorphism play significant role growth muscle, increasing fast glycolysis Type IIB muscle fiber, forming tubular aggregates type fiber body strength ability. This gene also responsible for double phenotype bovines. In present study, Marecha Brela Pakistan were studied genomic characterization Blood samples collected from healthy animals between age group 2-4 years. Genomic DNA was extracted, amplified using specific sets primers, purified sequenced Sanger?s dideoxy chain termination method. No single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found exon-3 & Brela, which shows that highly conserved among species while phylogenetic data dromedarius showed highest similarity with Bos taurus least Gallus gallus. Genes similar myostatin Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, taurus, Canis lupus, Rattus norvegicus. The significance this study identify genetic potential will help socioeconomic uplift local community. It breeders select enhance operating cost. That turn provide opportunity produce be selected trainers another source income community Pakistan?s used
