Fifty Holstein Friesian (H.F) crossbredcattle were screened for Deficiency of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase (DUMPS) using PCR-RFLP. Blood samples were collected from jugular veins in 2 ml capacity vaccutainers containing 2 mg/ml (K2 EDTA). DNA was isolated from the blood samples by using whole blood extraction kit. PCR was performed for amplification of polymorphic region of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase (UMPS) gene (108 bp) on bovine chromosome 1. The PCR products of 108 bp were digested with AvaI endonuclease enzyme. The normal allele in unaffected cattle produced three fragments of 53 bp, 36 bp and 19 bp. No animal was found carrier for UMPS gene. The genotype frequency of normal individuals and the gene frequency of normal allele were found to be one.

Background: This study was carried out to identify Theileria spp. infections in goats and ticksin Kermanshah Prov­ince, western Iran from May–Sep 2015. Methods: For differentiation of different Theileria spp. both blood and tick samples were examined by nested PCR-RFLP. Results: Light microscopy of blood smears revealed Theileria spp. infection in 22 (5.5%), while 68 (17%) of blood samples were positive using nested PCR. Out of 68 positive samples, 85.3% (58/68) and 11.7% (8/68) were respec­tively positive for Theileria ovis and T. lestoquardi. Mixed infection was detected in 3% (2/68) cases. Overall, 420 ixodid ticks belong to seven different hard ticks species were collected from goats. Rhipicephalus turanicus 112 (26.7%), R. sanguineus 95 (22.6%), R. bursa, 91(21.7%), Hyalomma anatolicum, 55(13.1%), H. excavatum 27(6.4%), H. marginatum, 22(5.3%) and Dermacentor marginatus, 18(4.2%) were the main tick species infesting goats. The PCR products obtained from ticks were subjected to the differentiation of Theileria species. Respectively, 2 and 8 pools of H. marginatum and R. turanicus salivary glands were infected with T. ovis and T. lestoquardi. In addition, T. annulata and T. lestoquardi infection weredetected in three pools of H. anatolicum. Conclusion: This is the first report of goats and collected ticks to Theileria spp infection in Iran. The results suggest that T. ovis has a higher prevalence than T. lestoquardi. It is also postulated H. marginatum, R. turanicus and H. ana­tolicum might play an important role in the field as a vector of Theileria spp in this area.

Background: Leptin is a varied hormone which plays vital role in body development by regulating the balance between food intake and energy expenditure by signaling to the brain. Leptin has diverse effect on controlling appetite, energy metabolism, growth, reproduction, body composition and immunity. The present study was aimed to screen candidate point mutation (g.332G greater than A) in the targeted genomic region of leptin gene in Munjal sheep. Methods: A total of 50 Munjal sheep were selected and genomic DNA was isolated in Automated Maxell RSC DNA/ RNA purification system by using Maxwell RSC whole blood DNA kit. Reported set of primers was used to amplify 463bp fragment encompassing targeted region (exon 3) of leptin gene. PCR-RFLP was performed to genotype targeted point mutation in our resource population. PCR products were digested by Cail 1 restriction enzyme to genotype g.332G greater than A (at 332th nucleotide of exon 3 leptin gene) non-synonymous mutation (Arg to Gln). Result: All studied samples resolved into monomorphic banding pattern, revealed only AA (463bp single band bp) genotype. The absence of candidate mutation in our resource population might be due to small sample size.

Ser315Thr mutations in genes encoding the mycobacteria catalase-peroxidase (KatG) has been associated with the major resistance to isoniazid (INH) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Also G/C polymorphisms in INT4 region of the solute carrier family 11 member 1 gene (SLC11A1) and susceptibility towards tuberculosis (TB) has been demonstrated worldwide. 24 drug resistant MTB culture positive samples and 24 whole?blood samples were collected from different TB patients of Central Development Region of Nepal in 2009. A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) - Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) assay was carried out in order to investigate Ser315Thr KatG mutation and G/C polymorphism in INT4 region. 4 (16.67%) samples out of 24 MTB culture samples demonstrated the Ser315Thr KatG mutation whereas none of the 24 whole blood samples were found to contain G/C polymorphism in INT4. Though no significant correlation could be found between INT4 polymorphism and TB susceptibility, overall scenario of Nepal cannot be drawn from this data. Molecular diagnostic technique such as PCR-RFLP can be used in a robust scale to carry out base line studies in the TB population of Nepal.

Phenamacril is a cyanoacrylate fungicide that provides excellent control of Fusarium head blight (FHB) or wheat scab, which is caused predominantly by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium asiaticum. Previous studies revealed that codon mutations of the myosin-5 gene of Fusarium spp. conferred resistance to phenamacril in vitro lab experiments. In this study, PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) was developed to detect three common mutations (A135T, GCC to ACC at codon 135; S217L, TCA to TTA at codon 217, and E420K, GAA to AAA at codon 420) in F. graminearum induced by fungicide domestication in vitro. PCR products of 841 bp (for mutation of A135T), 802 bp (for mutation of S217L) or 1649 bp (for mutation of E420K) in myosin-5 gene were amplified respectively by appropriate primer pairs. Restriction enzyme KpnⅠ, TasⅠ or DraⅠ was used to distinguish phenamacril-sensitive and -resistant strains with mutation genotypes of A135T, S217L and E420K, respectively. KpnⅠ digested the 841 bp PCR products of phenamacri-resistant strains with codon mutation A135T into two fragments of 256 bp and 585 bp. In contrast, KpnⅠ did not digest the PCR products of sensitive strains. TasⅠ digested the 802 bp PCR products of phenamacril-strains with codon mutation S217L into three fragments of 461 bp, 287bp and 54 bp. In contrast, TasⅠ digestion of the 802 bp PCR products of phenamacril-sensitive strains resulted in only two fragments of 515bp and 287bp. DraⅠ digested the 1649 bp PCR products of phenamacril-resistant strains with codon mutation E420K into two fragments of 932 bp and 717 bp, while the PCR products of phenamacril-sensitive strains was not digested. The three genotypes of resistance mutations were determined by analyzing electrophoresis patterns of the digestion fragments of PCR products. The PCR-RFLP method was evaluated on 48 phenamacril-resistant strains induced by fungicide domestication in vitro and compared with the conventional method (mycelial growth on fungicide-amended agar). The accuracy of the PCR-RFLP method for detecting the three resistant mutation genotypes of F. graminearum to phenamacril was 95.12% compared with conventional method. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the PCR-RFLP method could also be used to detect the codon mutations of A135T and E420K in F. asiaticum.

Molecular genetic markers can detect polymorphism at the DNA level. This feature determines the possibility of their widespread use in genetics and breeding. Alleles of the BoLA-DRB3 gene (exon 2) can act as such markers if a statically significant association between the disease and the allele is established. The presence of such DNA markers in the genotype of animals makes it possible to judge the likelihood of disease in postnatal ontogenesis immediately after the birth of a heifer, based on which we can conclude about the conditions of further use of the animal in the main herd. According to the results of studying the polymorphism of the BoLA-DRB3 gene in cows of the Ukrainian black and white dairy breed resistant and susceptible to necrobacteriosis, four "informative" alleles were revealed. Two of them *03 and *22 are associated with resistance, and the other two - *16 and *23 with susceptibility to necrobacteriosis. The presence of these alleles in the genotype of the animal is determined by testing performed by PCR-RFLP. The method is time consuming, labor intensive and costly. To simplify it, the following technique is proposed. Restriction fragments of alleles *03, *16, *22 and *23 for endocluases RsaI, XhoII and HaeIII have the following DNA patterns: bbb, jbd, mba and nba. Due to the peculiarity of the restriction fragments, which is that endonuclease XhoII reveals in these alleles only one pattern b with length of 284 bp, the process of determining informative alleles can be simplified. Isolation of DNA from blood samples and amplification of a fragment of the BoLA-DRB3.2 gene with a size of 284 bp is carried out according to the established technique. Next, the restriction of the fragment by endonuclease XhoII and sampling having a pattern b. Selected samples are treated with RsaI endonuclease and only those with patterns b, j, m and n remain. The next step is to restrict the selected samples with HaeIII endonuclease and select heifers with bbb (*03) and nba (*23) genotypes. After the first restriction, blood samples without pattern b are eliminated from the experimental sample; after the second – two alleles with patterns RsaI + XhoII jb (*16) and mb (*22) are unambiguously determined, after the third – genotypes bbb and nba, which correspond to alleles *03 and *23. In total, only 75% of blood samples are typed, which reduces the material consumption, time and cost of work to identify heifers genetically susceptible (resistant) to necrobacteriosis.

The polymorphism in leptin (LEP 2548A) seems to influence obesity among others genes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the G2548A polymorphism on body mass index. We included 79 people from Slovakia with some genetic relatedness and used barrels kit to isolate the genomic DNA from an adenoblast swab- from the salivary. PCR products were amplified by pursued polymorphisms and G2548A, we restriction-analyzed them and then we identified the specific fragments describing the presence of chosen SNP polymorphism by the agarose electrophoresis, to analyze SNP polymorphism by PCR-RFLP method. The LEP gene had increased frequency of G allele (0.5506). The most common genotype occurring in the gene LEP was heterozygous genotype (AG) and the least frequent genotype in LEP was AA (0.1899). Taking the age into account the BMI is higher if the G allele occurs in the LEP gene. Moreover, if the G allele genotype was situated in dominant form, then the highest average BMI was present. According to the results we can assume that the AA genotype (LEP) has a protective effect on the prevalence of obesity compared to the other genotypes.

<p class="abstrak2">Stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1) belongs to the fatty acid family of desaturases. In lactating ruminants, the SCD1 protein is highly expressed in the mammary gland and is relevant for the fatty acid composition of milk and dairy products. Polymorphism of SCD1 gene in Holstein-Friesian (HF) cows could be used as a basis of molecular selection of cattle in order to increase their productivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the polymorphism of SCD1 gene of Holstein-Friesian cows in Indonesia. A total of 162 blood samples of HF cows were collected from four different locations i.e. Bogor, Sukabumi, Tasikmalaya and Enrekang districts. Genotyping of SCD1 gene used PCR-RFLP method with NcoI restriction enzyme. The result showed that three genotypes (AA, AV and VV) and two alleles (A and V) have successfully found and polymorphic. A allele was dominant in all populations (0.63) and in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium. The highest A allele was found in Sukabumi (0.78) and the lowest was in Bogor (0.55). Heterozigosity observed and expected reached 0.471 and 0.470, respectively. In conclusion, genetic polymorphism was found in all population with dominant of A allele. This finding can be used as a early genetic information of Holstein-Friesian cattle in Indonesia and to build breeding strategy for improving of productivity especially improving of healthy fat milk. </p><p class="abstrak2"><span><br /></span></p>

Abstract The restriction enzyme is important for genotyping using the PCR-RFLP technique. Therefore, this study aims to identify the restriction enzyme mapping in the partial sequence of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene in Indonesian local cattle. A total of 29 samples sized 306 bp, were aligned with Genbank sequence acc no. NC_032660, resulting three polymorphic sites, namely g.193G>C, g.227T>C, and g.275A>C. Furthermore, the restriction mapping analysis using the NEBcutter program V2.0 showed that no enzyme recognized the SNP g.275A>C, while the SNP g.193G>C and g.227T>C were identified by the AluI and MscI enzymes, respectively. The AluI enzyme cuts at two positions (193 bp and 243 bp) in the G allele sample producing three fragments namely 50 bp, 63 bp, and 193 bp, meanwhile, in the C allele, the AluI cuts only in position 243 bp, hence, the fragment products are 63 bp and 243 bp. In contrast, the MscI enzyme was only recognized in the T allele, producing fragments sized 77 bp and 229 bp but failed to identify the restriction site along with the PCR products in the C allele. Based on the results, the SNPs (g.193G>C and g.227T>C) and restriction enzymes (AluI and MscI) are applicable for genotyping local Indonesian cattle using the PCR-RFLP technique in future studies.
