The application belongs to the technical field of
molecular genetics, and particularly relates to a detection method of an
insertion / deletion marker of a Shanbei white
cashmere goat ASIC2
gene and application thereof. The application uses the designed amplification primer pair, takes the whole
genome DNA of the
cashmere goat to be detected as a template, amplifies the 5'
regulatory region fragment (NC_030826.1:g.16746415_16746441) of the
cashmere goat ASIC2
gene through PCR, and then performs
agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing technology to identify the
genotype of the
insertion / deletion polymorphism site of the cashmere goat ASIC2
gene NC_030826.1:g.16746415_16746441del. The results of the examples show that the different genotypes of the
InDel site of the cashmere goat ASIC2 gene are significantly related to the chest depth and cross section height of the Shanbei white cashmere goat, and can be used as an effective
DNA marker of the growth traits of the Shanbei white cashmere goat. Further, the
DNA marker can assist in breeding excellent cashmere goats.
