Abstract: In order to study the function of goose forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) gene, in this study, according to the highly conservative region of FoxO1 gene sequences from chicken (Gallus gallus),human (Homo sapiens),and mouse (Mus musculus)in the GenBank,the specific primers were designed to clone the CDS region of goose FoxO1 gene using the RT-PCR method,and the bioinformatics analyses of FoxO1 were conducted.The results showed that the full length of CDS region of FoxO1 gene was obtained, and the similarities of nucleotide sequence of goose with chicken, human and mouse were 97%, 83%, 82%, respectively. The expression level of FoxO1 gene in various tissues of Sichuan White goose showed: sebum> abdominal fat > crureus > pectorales > liver. In conclusion, FoxO1 gene could be expressed in several tissues, and showed an evident expression difference.
