The present application discloses a specific
DNA fragment for sex identification of
Pelteobagrus ussuriensis and a method for sex identification, specifically relating to the technical field of sex identification of
Pelteobagrus ussuriensis. The above-mentioned identification method includes the following steps: Dissect 5 female and 5 male
Pelteobagrus ussuriensis of a full-sib family to determine the physiological sex; respectively extract
DNA from the muscles of female samples and male samples, construct a paired-end
genomic DNA library with an insert
fragment size of 300 bp, and perform high-
throughput sequencing; based on the GWAS and Fst methods, identify that the sex
chromosome of Pelteobagrus ussuriensis is
chromosome 8, and then screen for Indels within the sex determination region on
chromosome 8; screen a 601-bp male-specific
DNA sequence and design and synthesize primers; use PCR amplification and
agarose gel electrophoresis detection, and the result without specific bands is female, and the one with a 356-bp band is male. This scheme has the advantages of strong specificity, simple primer composition, and more intuitive identification of the sex of Pelteobagrus ussuriensis.
