Abstract |
The RAPD-PCR method was
used to screen the specific DNA markers for the black-dotted nose in
Hanwoo. This study attempted to provide a tool to control the expression
of the black-dotted nose in Hanwoo population in Korea. A total of 5 URP markers were
used and analyzed the DNA variants among the 5 URP markers. A specific
DNA marker was found in the URP 5 marker and named R5SNP. From the
sequence analysis of R5SNP, 852 base sequences were detected. After
compared with the registered DNA sequences in the data base, UMD 3.1
reference method used to check the homology of the base sequences
between them and 99% of the sequence homology was detected. Also, a
total of 11 SNPs variants found which were associated with the
expression of the black-dotted nose. In our study, a specific segment of
DNAs was found that was only in the black-dotted nose. This segment of
DNAs was not associated with the normal yellow-coloured nose of Hanwoo.
The R5SNP marker was found in this study could be used as an indicator
for distinguishing Hanwoo and other foreign breeds and also for the
early detection of the Black-dotted nose in Hanwoo.
