Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of molecular biology detection, specifically relating to a rapid detection method for economic traits of Tibetan chickens. FBXO32 Gene SNP markers, detection methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) refers to a variation of a single nucleotide at a specific position in a genomic DNA sequence, caused by base transitions, insertions, deletions, or transversions. In other words, an SNP is a single base variation at a specific site in a chromosomal DNA sequence. This variation exhibits inter-individual differences due to various factors, and when the frequency of such a variation in a population reaches 1% or higher, it is considered polymorphic. SNP markers are third-generation DNA genetic markers. Due to their high specificity, they have become an effective means of detecting gene expression levels in genetic material and are widely used in research on biological genetic diversity and molecular breeding. SNP analysis can quickly screen for target genes and improve the utilization rate of germplasm resources; therefore, SNP detection technology has great potential and application prospects. However, the high cost of SNP detection limits its large-scale application in the animal breeding industry through genome-wide selection. Furthermore, how to accurately infer haplotypes from SNPs and how to estimate the genetic effects of haplotypes and SNPs to provide a basis for accurate breeding value estimation are also challenges in SNP applications.

[0003] Animal molecular breeding combines molecular genetics theory with traditional quantitative genetics theory. It utilizes the combination of molecular and polygenic genetic information to conduct genetic analysis of traits to be improved in livestock, thereby enabling rapid and efficient breeding of livestock and poultry breeds. Molecular breeding, also known as molecular mark-assist selection (MAS), uses DNA molecular markers to select breeding materials, thereby improving the traits of livestock and poultry breeds. MAS combines modern molecular biology with traditional genetic breeding methods for the selection of new breeds. In livestock and poultry breeding, by selecting DNA markers closely related to economic traits, early selection can be achieved, improving selection accuracy and leading to greater genetic progress.

Currently, there is no... FBXO32 A study on the relationship between genes and economic traits of Tibetan chickens. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid method for detecting economic traits in Tibetan chickens. FBXO32 Gene SNP markers, detection methods, and applications.

The kits, test strips, or detection reagents include at least a specific primer pair for amplifying the SNP molecular marker. The primer pair includes: an upstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a downstream primer as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0009] Accordingly, the application of the kit, test strip, or detection reagent in detecting Tibetan chicken traits. The application includes the following steps:

[0010] (1) Obtain blood from the Tibetan chicken to be tested;

[0011] (2) Extracting genomic DNA from blood;

[0012] (3) Perform PCR amplification on genomic DNA to obtain PCR amplification products;

[0013] (4) The PCR amplification products were digested with enzymes, electrophoresed and analyzed to determine the genotype of the SNP molecular marker in the Tibetan chicken to be tested.

[0014] Accordingly, a method for rapid identification of the SNP molecular marker includes the following steps:

[0015] (1) PCR amplification of Tibetan chicken FBXO32 Gene;

[0016] (2) Determine whether the obtained PCR amplification product can be digested by the restriction endonuclease Hpa II; if both strands can be digested by Hpa II, it is identified as... FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is AA; if neither strand can be cleaved by Hpa II, it is identified as... FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is GG; if only one strand can be cleaved by Hpa II, it is identified as... FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is GA.

[0017] Accordingly, a method for rapidly determining the economic traits of Tibetan chickens using the SNP molecular markers includes the following steps:

[0018] (1) PCR amplification of Tibetan chicken FBXO32 Gene;

[0019] (2) Determine whether the obtained PCR amplification product can be digested by the restriction endonuclease Hpa II; if the result shows that both strands can be digested by Hpa II, then the product is considered valid. FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is GG; if the result shows that one strand can be digested by HpaII, then the gene is identified as GG. FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is GA; if the result shows that neither strand can be digested by Hpa II, then the identification... FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is AA;

[0026] If no mutation occurs at this site and the genotype is GG, then both strands have Hpa II restriction sites, and the main economic traits of Tibetan chickens (body length, keel length, chest depth, chest width, shank length, shank circumference, live weight, semi-eviscerated weight, and fully eviscerated weight) will decrease significantly.

[0027] If the mutation at this site results in genotype GA, one strand forms an Hpa II restriction site. The main economic traits of Tibetan chickens (body length, keel length, chest depth, chest width, shank circumference, semi-eviscerated weight, and fully eviscerated weight) are higher than those of individuals with the GG genotype, but the differences are not significant. The shank length and live weight of Tibetan chickens are significantly higher than those of individuals with the GG genotype.

[0028] If the mutation at this site results in genotype AA, then there is no Hpa II restriction site. The main economic traits of Tibetan chickens (body length, keel length, chest depth, chest width, shank length, shank circumference, live weight, semi-eviscerated weight, and fully eviscerated weight) are significantly higher than those of individuals with the GG genotype, and superior to those with the GA genotype.

[0029] Based on this new discovery, the present invention provides a primer pair for rapid detection of Tibetan chickens, the primer pair being based on SNP sites, i.e., Tibetan chickens. FBXO32 The design was based on position 8916 of the gene to accurately amplify the DNA fragment containing the SNP site.

[0030] An optional scheme is that the primer pairs include:

[0031] Upstream primer: 5'-CTACAGGCCTGAGACTCTGC-3' (SEQ NO ID: 1);

[0032] Downstream primer: 5'-TGGCCACAGCTGATAGTACG-3' (SEQ NO ID: 2).

[0033] This invention also provides a method for rapid detection of Tibetan chickens using the primer pair: PCR amplification of Tibetan chickens using the primer pair.

Identification was performed based on the agarose gel electrophoresis results. FBXO32 Genotype of the SNP locus at position 8916 of the gene.

[0034] If the result shows that both strands can be digested by Hpa II, then the identification... FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is GG, indicating that this Tibetan chicken exhibits poor economic traits; if the result shows that one strand can be digested by Hpa II, then the identification... FBXO32 The genotype at position 8916 of the gene is GA, and the economic traits of this Tibetan chicken are generally considered average. If the result shows that neither strand can be digested by Hpa II, then the identification...
