Abundant polymorphisms at the microsatellite locus LEI0258 in indigenous chickens.

چکیده
The chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has abundant SNP and indels, and is closely related with host genetic resistance or susceptibility to disease. The LEI0258 locus is the most variable in the MHC region, and is a useful marker in reflecting the variability of MHC. In this study, we applied the LEI0258 microsatellite marker to investigate polymorphism of MHC in Chinese indigenous chickens. The size of LEI0258 fragments in 1,617 individuals from 33 Chinese chicken breeds was detected by capillary electrophoresis, and 213 samples with different fragment sizes were further sequenced. A total of 69 alleles ranging from 193 to 489 bp were found, including 21 novel alleles and 28 private alleles that existed in only one breed. Three alleles, 249 bp (7.04%), 489 bp (6.57%), and 309 bp (6.10%), were the most frequent in the indigenous chickens. A 489-bp novel allele was unique in Chinese local chicken breeds. Three indels and 4 SNP of upstream/downstream of 2 repeat regions (R13/R12) were found. Abundant variations indicate high genetic diversity at the MHC region in indigenous chickens. Rare alleles are vulnerable to genetic drift in small populations, and can be used as molecular markers for monitoring the dynamic conservation of many indigenous breeds.

We performed a genome-wide linkage and quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis to confirm the existence of QTL affecting Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) induced tumor regression, and to estimate their effects on phenotypic variance in an F2 resource population. The F2 population comprised 158 chickens obtained by crossing tumor regressive White Leghorn (WL) and tumor progressive Rhode Island Red (RIR)...
متن کاملCorrelation in chicken between the marker LEI0258 alleles and Major Histocompatibility Complex sequences
BACKGROUND The LEI0258 marker is located within the B region of the chicken Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), and is surprisingly well associated with serology. Therefore, the correlation between the LEI0258 alleles and the MHC class I and the class II alleles at the level of sequences is worth investigating in chickens. Here we describe to which extent the LEI0258 alleles are associated ...

Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) are the two major types of indigenous chickens in Nigeria. They subsist under traditional Animal husbandry and are thus liable to indiscriminate mating and consequently to loss of genetic diversity. Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) were investigated to determine genetic variation at transferrin locus ...
