Male-specific band in random amplified microsatellite polymorphism fingerprints of Holstein cattle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 65 blood samples collected from Holstein cattle were employed for DNA extraction. Genomic DNA were amplified by means of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). One hundred and one random primers (Operon kits OPAA, OPAO, OPAV, OPC, OPE and OPA-06) were used for polymerase chain reactions (PCR). The PCR products were size fractionated by means of electrophoresis in agarose gel, transferred to a nylon membrane, and then hybridized with a alpha-32P-labeled microsatellite probe for random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMPO) analysis. All the primers produced many amplification patterns in RAMPO fingerprints, but only OPE-01 (5'-CCCAAGGTCC-3') yielded a male-specific strong signal. Among the 65 cases, the specific band could be observed in the RAMPO fingerprints of the 24 male samples but not in the 41 female samples. Therefore, this specific band is peculiar to male cattle.

Random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMP) is a PCR-based marker which uses a combination of two classes of markers: Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Random amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) markers. RAMP has been demonstrated to be a potentially valuable molecular marker for the study of genetic relationships in cultivated plant species. The objective of this study was to optimize the...

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

The retrotransposon marY1 is a gypsy family retroelement, which is detected ubiquitously within the fungal taxonomic groups in which mushrooms are included. To utilize marY1 as a molecular marker for the DNA fingerprinting of mushrooms, oligonucleotides marY1-LTR-L and marY1-LTR-R were designed on the basis of highly conserved regions from the multiple sequence alignment of 30 marY1 sequences r...
