Mitochondrial DNA has been one of the most widely used molecular markers for phylogenetic studies in animals because of its simple genomic structure. This study examines the genetic characteristic of domestic goat using sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COXI) to identify and differentiate among three common breeds...

The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic characterization of the Caspian horse population using microsatellite markers. This study determined the efficiency of microsatellite markers for conservation plans and breeding strategies in Caspian horse population. For this purpose, 120 Caspian horse samples including 95 adults and 25 foals were geno...

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 par-tial sequence of cyt-b gene of Iranian she...

Microsatellites are a class of genetic markers commonly used for parentage verification and population studies. This study determined the efficiency of microsatellite markers for identification and pedigree analysis in horses based on the example of Turkmen horse population. For this purpose, 748 Turkmen horse samples including 574 adults (92 stall...

The genetic diversity and phylogenetic structure was analyzed in Marghoz goat population by mitochondrial DNA sequences. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using hyper variable region 1 (968 bp) obtained form 40 animals. Marghoz goat proved to be extremely diverse (average haplotype diversity of 0.999) and the nucleotide diversity values 0.022....

Camels are not only important in improving rural families' economy, but also are valuable genetic resources. Maintaining genetic diversity of Bactrian camels in Iranis essential for breeding programs and increasing production because of Low population.The first step is determining the genetic diversity. Among genetic markers,mitochondrial genome se...

The aim of the present study was to detect the polymorphism in exon 26 of apoB gene in Khazak breed Chickens. Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is the primary apolipoprotein of low density lipoproteins, and is responsible for carrying cholesterol to tissues. The apoB gene is located on chromosome 3 and consists of thirty exons and twenty- nine introns. in th...

Factor XI (FXI) is a plasma protein that participates in the blood coagulation process. Factor XI deficiency is autosomal recessive hereditary disorder that may be associated with excess bleeding in cattle. In the present study overall 300 buffalo were genotyped to detect the mutation within exon 12 of the gene encoding for factor XI. The validity...

Pit-1 is a pituitary-specific transcriptional factor that has been shown to play a critical role both in cell differentiation during organogenesis of the anterior pituitary and as a transcriptional activator for pituitary gene transcription. This study was designed to investigate the associations of Pit-1 gene polymorphism on chicken body growth an...

Severe Combined Immllllodeficiency Disease (SCID) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease occWTing among Arabian horses. The genetic defect responsible for this disease was recently identified as a 5-basepair deletion in the gene encoding DNA-Protein Kinase catalytic submrit (DNA-PKcs). Horses with one copy of the gene appear normal while hors...

Transforming growth factor-β(TGF- β) polypeptides are members of a large superfamily of growth and differentiation factors that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of a great variety of cell types. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of TGF- β 3 gene polymorphism on chicken growth and body composition traits. G...

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-1) may play important roles in growth of multiple tissues and it is encoded by the IGF1 gene. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of IGF1 gene polymorphism on chicken growth and body composition traits. Genomic DNAs were extracted from 400 chickens belonged to four Iranian commercial broi...

The present study investigated the occurrence of autosomal recessive genetic diseases, BLAD, DUMPs and CVM in Khuzestan native cows and Iranian Holstein cattle. Genomic DNA was isolated from the blood of the cows (n=330). The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was performed to identify carriers of...

Apolipoproteins play a central role in the assembly, secretion, processing, and catabolism of lipoproteins. Apolipoprotein B (APOB) is the primary apolipoprotein of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and is responsible for carrying cholesterol to tissues. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of apoB gene polymorphism on chick...

Very low density apolipoprotein-II (apoVLDL-II) is a major polypeptide component of avian VLDL. The function of apoVLDL-II is the transport of neutral lipids (triacylglycerol) in the form of VLDL in the plasma. The apoVLDLII gene is dormant in embryos, chicks and roosters but can be activated by estrogen. The current study was designed to investiga...

The objectives of this study were to assess the genetic variability among six Iranian goat breeds including: Markhoz (MR), Korki of South Khorasan (KK), Black Lori (BL), Najdi (NJ), Korki of Raeini (KR), Tali (TL) and to evaluate the genetic relationships between populations using RAPD markers. The genetic characterization of these genetic resource...

Genetic diversity within the Iranian Caspian horse was evaluated using 8 different microsatellite pairs on 45 Caspian horse blood samples. This molecular characterisation was undertaken to evaluate the problem of genetic bottlenecks, if any, in this breed. The number of alleles per locus varied from 3 to 5 with mean value of 4.125. All markers have...

The present study was to construct a parentage verification system for Iranian Caspian horse. A total number of 45 Caspian horse samples including 14 foals for parentage ver-ification, 17 stallion and 14 mare for individual identification were genotyped. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and the genotype were analysed by PCR procedure and...
