Abstract:

Phylogenetic relationships and genetic variation between two Iranian sheep breeds were analyzed using cytochrome b (cyt-b) gene sequences. The genomic DNA was isolated by salting out method and amplified cytochrome b gene using polymerase chain reaction restriction (PCR) method with a pair of primer. A partial sequence of cyt-b gene of Iranian sheep is 780 bp and contained 13 variable sites and 11 haplotypes. Phylogenetic analysis of haplotype in the combination with the sheep from GenBank showed that Iranian sheep made a separated cluster. This study is provided useful information for understanding relationships between breeds from different parts of the world. This study may simplify the future researchers and breeders for better understanding the genetic structure and breed differentiation for designing future breeding strategies to the conservation of animal genetic resources.

Molecular Characterization and Phylogeny Analysis Based on Sequences of Cytochrome Oxidase gene From Hemiscorpius lepturus of Iran

Abstract: Background: Hemiscorpius lepturus is a medically important scorpion found along the Iranian borders, especially near to Khuzestan Province in the south-west of Iran. This is the only non-buthid scorpion which is potentially lethal in southern Iran and is responsible for severe dermonecrotic scorpionism. OBJECTIVES: In this study, DNA fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase ...

Molecular phylogeny of the Bactrian camel based on mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene sequences.

The Bactrian camel is an important domesticated animal providing milk, meat, and other products in desert countries. In this study, 111 individuals representing 11 domestic Bactrian camel breeds from China, Mongolia, Russia, and one wild Bactrian camel group from Mongolia were selected for the preparation of mitochondrial DNA. The 1140-bp fragments of the cytochrome b gene (Cytb) were amplified...

Molecular phylogeny of some avian species using Cytochrome b gene sequence analysis

Veritable identification and differentiation of avian species is a vital step in conservative, taxonomic, forensic, legal and other ornithological interventions. Therefore, this study involved the application of molecular approach to identify some avian species i.e. Chicken (Gallus gallus), Muskovy duck (Cairina moschata), Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), Laughing dove (Streptopelia senegale...

Molecular phylogeny of the chipmunks inferred from Mitochondrial cytochrome b and cytochrome oxidase II gene sequences.

There are currently 25 recognized species of the chipmunk genus Tamias. In this study we sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) gene of 23 Tamias species. We analyzed the cyt b sequence and then analyzed a combined data set of cyt b along with a previous data set of cytochrome oxidase subunit II (COII) sequence. Maximum-likelihood was used to further test the fit of models of...

Genetic and Phylogenetic Analysis of Adani Goat Population Based on Cytochrome B Gene

Identification of genetic characteristics is an important factor for preservation of species life. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic characteristics of the Adani goat populations based on the cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene and to detection its phylogenetic relationships with the domestic and wild goat species using NCBI database. Blood samples were taken from 12 Adani goat and subseq...

molecular phylogeny of malaysian pangasiid based on cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) dna sequences

the molecular phylogenetic trees of 42 representative samples of malaysian pangasiid were constructed using cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi). the topologies resulting from molecular analyses, maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and bayesian inference, revealed the paraphyly of pangasius genus and monophyly of p. nasutus, p. bocourti, p. micronemus, and p. hypopthalmus with high support v...
