    A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF MYOSTATIN AND FABP3 GENES IN MANDYA AND YALAGA SHEEP
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2021) MEENAKSHI, R. N.; R. NAGARAJA)
    The PCR-RFLP and SSCP polymorphisms of Myostatin (exon 1 and intron 1) and FABP3 (intron 3) genes were compared between Mandya and Yalaga sheep using the genomic DNA obtained from 50 each of Mandya and Yalaga sheep breeds. The Myostatin (497 bp and 414 bp) and FABP3 (355 bp) gene sequences were amplified by PCR employing published primers. PCR-RFLP analysis of Myostatin gene (497 bp) with DraI restriction enzyme revealed two genotypes, AB and BB with frequencies of 0.34 and 0.66 in Mandya sheep and 0.12 and 0.88 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. The allele frequencies for A and B were 0.17 and 0.83 in Mandya sheep and 0.06 and 0.94 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. PCR-RFLP analysis of FABP3 gene with BanII restriction enzyme revealed two genotypes, AA and AG with frequencies of 0.66 and 0.34 in Mandya sheep and 0.08 and 0.92 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. The gene frequencies for A and G were 0.83 and 0.17 in Mandya and 0.54 and 0.46 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. Multiple sequence alignment of B allele sequences of Myostatin (497 bp) gene and A allele sequences of FABP3 gene in Mandya and Yalaga sheep revealed T>C transition at 64 bp and C>T transition at 174 bp in Yalaga sheep. PCR-SSCP analysis of Myostatin (414 bp) gene revealed two genotypes, AA and AB with frequencies of 0.74 and 0.26 in Mandya sheep and 0.78 and 0.22 in Yalaga sheep, respectively. The gene frequencies for A and B were 0.87 and 0.13 and 0.89 and 0.11 in Mandya and Yalaga sheep, respectively. The alignment of A and B alleles of Myostatin gene in Mandya and Yalaga sheep revealed two SNPs: G>T transversion at position 46 bp and G>T transversion at position 287 bp in Yalaga sheep.
