The application discloses a chicken TRAF7
gene promoter region SNP marker and application thereof in chicken breeding and belongs to the technical field of
molecular genetics. The application finds that a SNP marker exists in the chicken TRAF7
gene promoter region through screening of SNPs between breeds, the
nucleotide sequence of the SNP marker is shown as SEQ ID No. 1, and the 122th base from the 5' end of the sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 1 is a SNP site, the base of which is A or T. The SNPs
genotype of Jining hundred-day chicken
population is firstly correlated with the
egg laying trait, and it is found that the individual with the TT ‑896
genotype corresponds to an earlier age of first
egg laying; the individual with the TT ‑896
genotype corresponds to a higher maximum number of continuous
egg laying, therefore, the
molecular marker associated with the SNP site and the egg laying trait is detected, which is not only simple, fast and convenient, but also helps to
breed a high-egg-yielding chicken
breed and provides favorable help for breeding work.
