Prediction of heterosis from DNA fingerprints in chickens.
To assess the value of DNA fingerprints for the prediction of heterosis in chickens, retrospective analyses of data from three crossbreeding experiments and DNA fingerprints (DEP) of parental strains were conducted using two minisatellite and one middle-repetitive DNA probes. DEP bands were assessed on pooled DNA samples of 10-15 individuals per parental genetic group. The number of DEP bands e...
متن کاملBREEDING AND GENETICS Heterosis and DNA Fingerprinting in Chickens
Enhancement of performance in traits of economic importance by use of heterosis (hybrid vigor) is routine in poultry breeding. There is, however, no reliable method to predict the level of heterosis that will occur from the mating of individuals from two populations. DNA fingerprints (DFP) were used as a measure of genetic distance between mating pairs of chickens where each individual of a pai...
متن کاملPrediction of consanguinity using human DNA fingerprints.
DNA fingerprinting was performed to verify the pedigree structure of a family under investigation for an unusual case of beta thalassaemia. A higher than expected proportion of hypervariable bands was shared by the proband and his mother, leading to suspicion that the child had been the product of a consanguineous mating. Further analysis of the mother's brother showed that he was almost certai...

DNA fingerprints from hypervariable mitochondrial genotypes.
Conventional surveys of restriction-fragment polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA of menhaden fish (Brevoortia tyrannus/patronus complex) and chuckwalla lizards (Sauromalus obesus) revealed exceptionally high levels of genetic variation, attributable to differences in mtDNA size as well as in restriction sites. The observed probabilities that any two randomly drawn individuals differed detectably...
