The numbers of alleles for BM143,OarHH35,OarAE101,and BMS2508 are 9, 11, 14 and 9 in seven sheep populations, respectively. The polymorphism information content/number of effective alleles/ heterozygosity of BM143,OarHH35,OarAE101 and BMS2508 were 0.7073/3.7231/0.7314, 0.8267/6.4399/0.8447,0.5743/2.5178/0.6028,0.6172/3.0712/0.6744 in 286 sheep, respectively. The results revealed the greatest genetic variation at OarHH35 locus and the lowest at OarAE101, the greatest genetic variation in Small Tail Han sheep and the lowest in Hu sheep among seven sheep populations. In the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrograms based on Nei's DA distance and Nei's DS standard genetic distance, the Chinese native breeds (Small Tail Han sheep, Ujumqin sheep, Hu sheep) were grouped together, then with Charolais sheep. The F1 crossbred sheep, and the two British native sheep (Suffolk sheep, Dorset sheep) also clustered together. Microsatellite genotyping in sheep provided a useful tool for examining the genetic relationships among breeds(populations).

Identification of fecundity gene (FecB) carriers using microsatellite markers and its effect on sheep weight

Abstract. Altogether 115 animals representing 5 genetic groups: 3 purebred Booroola Merino, Corriedale and Olkuska, and 2 Booroola crossbreds were included in the studies. In total 6 alleles from 97 bp to 119 bp in microsatellite OarAE101, and 5 alleles from 162 bp to 174 bp in BM1329 were identified. The marker of FecB gene presence seems to be an allele of 97 bp in the case of microsatellite OarAE 101 and 162 bp in the case of BM1329. Significant differences FecB carriers (Booroola-Corriedale) and non-carriers (Corriedale) in birth weight and at weaning at 100 days (males and females from twins) as well as weight gain during the first 28 days and 100 days were found. Purebred lambs showed higher values of the investigated traits.     

Increased heterozygosity and allele variants are seen in Texel compared to Suffolk sheep

In this study, the Suffolk and Texel sheep breeds were compared for microsatellite marker heterozygosity throughout seven chromosomal regions in the sheep genome. A total of 623 Texel animals and 489 Suffolk animals in five and three half-sib families, respectively, were genotyped for microsatellite markers across the seven different chromosomes. Using the observed allele frequencies, the expected levels of heterozygosity were calculated for each family. The expected levels of heterozygosity did not significantly differ between the breeds across all regions studied. However, levels of expected heterozygosity were 32% higher in Texel animals on chromosome 4 due to a region of increased heterozygosity between BMS648 and BM3212. The number of allelic variants significantly differed between the breeds, solely due to a region of increased number of alleles on chromosome 20. This region of higher numbers of allele variants in the Texel breed extended from the MHC to c. 15 cM distal to the MHC region incorporating markers OMHC1, CSRD226, TGLA387 and BM1818, which had 3.30, 7.02, 3.09 and 6.75 more alleles in Texel than in Suffolk animals, respectively. No difference was observed in the variance of allele frequency between the two breeds. It is proposed that previous selective sweeps may have reduced numbers of alleles and levels of heterozygosity in the Suffolk breed.

Polymorphism of insulin-like growth factor 1 gene and its association with litter size in Small Tail Han sheep

The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene was studied as a candidate gene for high prolificacy in sheep. Polymorphisms of 5' regulatory region and all four exons of IGF1 gene were detected in Small Tail Han (n?=?277), Hu (n?=?58), Texel (n?=?48) and Dorset (n?=?46) sheep by PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP analysis. A microsatellite polymorphic site and a restriction fragment length polymorphism were shown in the 5' regulatory region of IGF1 gene. The ewes with genotype 123/123?bp had 0.81 (P??0.05) in Small Tail Han sheep. These results preliminarily indicated that these polymorphisms of IGF1 gene could be used in molecular marker-assisted selection for sheep breeding programs.     

Association between PCR-SSCP of growth differentiation factor 9 gene and high prolificacy in Small Tail Han sheep

Small Tail Han sheep that has significant characteristics of high prolificacy and nonseasonal ovulatory activity is an excellent local sheep breed in P.R. China. The lambing percentage averaged 260% in Small Tail Han sheep. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) gene, which was essential for growth and differentiation of early ovarian follicles, was considered as a possible candidate gene for litter size in Small Tail Han sheep. The genetic polymorphism of a part of the GDF9 gene was detected in 130 ewes of Small Tail Han sheep by PCR-SSCP. The results indicated that there were two genotypes (AA and AB) detected by two primer pairs. In both exon 1 and exon 2 of the GDF9 gene in Small Tail Han sheep, frequencies of AA genotype were 0.846 and 0.908, frequencies of AB genotype were 0.154 and 0.092, frequencies of A allele were 0.923 and 0.954, and frequencies of B allele were 0.077 and 0.046, respectively. The results of chi2 fitness test indicated that both exon 1 and exon 2 of the GDF9 gene were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p > 0.05) in Small Tail Han sheep. Least squares means of litter size in the first and the second parity for genotype AA were 0.30 (p <0.05) and 0.77 (p <0.0001) more than those for genotype AB detected in exon 1 of the GDF9 gene in Small Tail Han sheep, respectively. Fragments detected in exon 2 of the GDF9 gene had no significant effect (p > 0.05) on litter size in both the first and the second parity in Small Tail Han sheep. Litter size in sheep is lowly heritable, expressed only in females, and manifested relatively late in life. Access to genetic markers would thus be advantageous in selection programs.
