“…However, the CHD1 gene is pseudoautosomal in ratites and hence cannot be used as a marker of sex identification in this group (Ellegren, 1996). Furthermore, the CHD1 gene has been used as a marker for the development of alternative PCR‐based molecular sexing methods based on allele‐specific PCR (He et al, 2005; Ito et al, 2003; Lee et al, 2008), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) (Ellegren, 1996; Bermudez‐Humaran et al, 2002; Patiño et al, 2013; Boano et al, 2020), single‐strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) (Cortes et al, 1999; Ramos et al, 2009), capillary electrophoresis (Çakmak et al, 2017; Lee et al, 2010), loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) (Centeno‐Cuadros et al, 2018; Koch et al, 2019) and real‐time PCR using either TaqMan probes or high‐resolution melting analysis (Brubaker et al, 2011; Chang, Cheng, et al, 2008; Chang, Gu, et al, 2008; Chen et al, 2012; Chou et al, 2010; Faux et al, 2014; Huang et al, 2011; Morinha et al, 2011, 2013, 2019; Rosenthal et al, 2010).…”
