Akkaraman Koyun Irkında Callipyge Gen Polimorfizmin Araştırılması

Abstract

Callipyge is a candidate gene with a significant effect on meat quality
 and growth in sheep. The aim of this study is to investigate the polymorphism of
 the Callipyge gene (CLPG) in Akkaraman breed. In the study, DNAs obtained
 from blood samples of 50 Akkaraman sheep were used as study material. The
 CLPG/Faq1 polymorphism was examined in all individuals using the method
 PCR-RFLP. Only A allele and AA genotype were detected after PCR-RFLP
 procedure. This is the first study in which Callipyge gene polymorphism was
 investigated in Akkaraman breed, and the findings show that Akkaraman breed
 has a monomorphic structure in terms of Callipyge/Faq1 polymorphism.
