The invention discloses an
Andrias davidianus female specific marker and applications thereof. The steps comprise: A,
cloning and verifying a specific fragment: 1) analyzing
Andrias davidianus RAD candidate female specific fragments, 2) recovering a PCR product,
cloning, and sequencing, and 3) analyzing the cloned and sequenced sequence; B, identifying physiological gender through tissue
slicing:1) fixing and storing a collected
Andrias davidianus
gonad sample, 2) carrying out step-by-step
ethanol dehydration on the sample, and 3)
slicing the
gonad tissue, and observing and identifying the physiological gender of Andrias davidianus; C, establishing a genetic sex
identification system: 1) extracting
genomic DNA, 2) design
specific primers, wherein a
nucleotide sequence represented by the verified sequence SEQ ID NO.1 is cloned, and 3) carrying out PCR amplification according to the
reaction system; and D, applying the specific
molecular marker in the identification of common individuals and
sex reversal individuals of Andrias davidianus. According to the present invention, the marker has advantages of simple operation, accuracy and reliability, and can identify the genetic gender of Andrias davidianus through the non-invasive sampling; and the
system for identifying the gender of Andrias davidianus and the
sex reversal Andrias davidianus is firstly established, the simple and easy-performing
molecular biology method is provided for the genetic gender identification of Andrias davidianus, and the approach is provided for the subsequent gender control breeding of Andrias davidianus.
