Abstract:

In order to study the genetic characteristics and nucleotide polymorphism sites of elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids 2 (ELOVL2) gene in Jingyuan chicken,the polymorphisms of ELOVL2 gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequence.The results showed that there was no polymorphism of ELOVL2 gene exon 6,there were moderate polymorphism of introns 2 and 6 in Jingyuan chicken.The total of 5 genotypes(A2A2,B2B2,C2C2,D2D2 and A2C2),4 alleles(A2,B2,C2 and D2) and 3 SNPs loci were detected on the intron 2 amplified fragment of ELOVL2 gene.The 3 SNPs were g.63372228+4918G > A transformation,g.63372228+5024T > C transformation and g.63372228+4928C > A transversion.A2 was the dominant allele (0.62),and A2A2 was the dominant genotype (0.54).The total of 3 genotypes (A1A1,B1B1 and A1B1) and 2 alleles (A1 and B1) were detected on E2e6I6 amplified fragments.A1 was the dominant allele (0.67),A1A1 was the dominant genotype (0.54),and only allele B1 had a g.63388000+748G > C transversion.Population genetics analysis showed that genetic homozygosity of ELOVL2 gene introns 2 and 6 in Jingyuan chicken were higher and deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05).The results showed that the mutations of the ELOVL2 gene introns 2 and 6 in the Jingyuan chicken were high,which were moderate polymorphism,showing the homozygous advantage and no mutation on the exon 6.
