The invention provides a pelicans paternity test method based on a
microsatellite marker, a primer group and application, and relates to the technical field of biological paternity test. The paternity test method comprises the following steps: extracting
genome DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of a to-be-identified pelicans
offspring, a known parent and a candidate parent; carrying out PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification by using the specific primer pair by taking the
genome DNA as a template to obtain an amplification product; detecting the
fragment size of the amplification product to obtain a
genotype; and comparing the genotypes to judge the parent-child relationship. According to the method,
genetic typing is carried out on samples such as the pelicans feathers by using the specific
microsatellite primers, the misjudgment risk of a behavioral
observation method is overcome on the basis of a codominant genetic law, parent sources can be accurately traced, and non-biological parents can be excluded; according to the method, a definite
molecular identification basis is provided, establishment of accurate family archives and evaluation of
genetic diversity are facilitated, and reliable
technical support is provided for scientific breeding management and
inbreeding avoidance of pelicans.
