Sequence Variations of Mitochondrial DNA Displacement-Loop in Iranian Indigenous Sheep Breeds
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used extensively to study population genetics because it has the unique features of maternal inheritance, a relatively fast rate of evolution and lack of recombination. A total of 82 unrelated sheep from 10 Iranian indigenous sheep breeds were investigated to determinate the maternal genetic diversity using a sequence of a 685 bp segment of the displacement lo...
متن کاملFASN gene polymorphism in indigenous cattle breeds of Turkey.
The aim of this study was to determine the variants of the thioesterase (TE) beta-ketoacyl reductase (KR) domains of the Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) gene, in the East Anatolian Red (EAR) and South Anatolian Red (SAR) cattle breeds. It has been suggested that the FASN gene is effective on fatty acid composition of meat in cattle. In this study, the genotype and allele frequencies of g.17924 A>G, ...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Relationship between Indigenous Cattle Breeds
Zebu breeds of cattle from southern part of India are well known for their adaptability to extreme climatic conditions, draught efficiency, disease resistance and poor nutritional environment. Selection of appropriate populations for conservation of such genetic resources is needed in view of preventing rapid erosion of animal genetic resources. Estimation of genetic diversity is essential to d...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Variation in Indigenous Sheep (Ovis aries) Breeds of Nepal
Nepal borders India in the south and China in the north. Four distinct indigenous domestic sheep breed, i.e. Bhyanglung in the alpine region, Baruwal in the high hills, Kage in the mid hills and Lampuchhre in the low lands are distributed in the country. In this study, the mitochondrial DNA control region of 111 sheep from these four breeds was directly sequenced to determine their genetic vari...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Bottleneck Analysis of Indigenous Grey Cattle Breeds of India Based on Microsatellite Data
Bovine microsatellite data of 21 loci was used for the assessment of genetic diversity and bottleneck analysis of 10 indigenous grey cattle breeds from different agroclimatic regions of India. A total of 448 alleles were observed across 21 loci and the observed number of alleles varied from 11 (INRA 05) to 35 (ILSTS-05). The overall observed and expected heterozygosity was 0.722 and 0.802, the ...
