Comparison of DNA polymorphism of bovine pituitary-specific transcription Factor and Leptin Gene Between Iranian Bos indicus and Bos taurus Cattle Using PCR-RFLP.

Variations at DNA level contribute to the genetic characterization of livestock populations and this may help to identify possible hybridization events as well as past evolutionary trends. The leptin and Pit-1 are attractive candidate genes for production and reproduction traits in cattle. A total o...

A total of 247 animals from four breeds from two species of Iranian cattle populations in include Bos taurus (Sarabi, Golpayegani) and Bos indicus (Sistani, Taleshi) were genotyped for the Pit-1 Hinfl and leptin Sau3AI polymorphisms by the Polymerase Chain Reaction and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).
