ABSTRAK Karakteristik karkas dan sifat perlemakan pada daging domba dikontrol oleh banyak gen salah satunya gen DGAT1 (Diacylglycerol Acyltransferasel 1). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) gen DGAT1 pada titik mutasi g.8539 C>T dan asosiasinya terhadap karakteristik karkas dan sifat perlemakan pada domba Indonesia. Total sampel domba yang digunakan sebanyak 150 buah terdiri dari 35 sampel domba compass agrinak (DCA), 36 sampel domba barbados cross (DBC), 41 sampel domba komposit garut (DKG), 20 sampel domba ekor gemuk (DEG), dan 18 sampel domba ekor tipis (DET). Karakteristik karkas dan sifat perlemakan diukur dari domba jantan berumur 10-12 bulan. Identifikasi keragaman DGAT1|ALuI dianalisis dengan metode PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). Hasil keragaman gen DGAT1 bersifat polimorfik dalam DET dan DEG, sedangkan DCA, DBC, dan DKG bersifat monomorfik. Dua genotipe disebut CC dan  CT ditemukan dalam DET dan DEG. Titik mutasi gen DGAT1 berasosiasi (P<0.05) dengan karakteristik karkas, yaitu bobot dan panjang karkas. Selain itu, keragaman gen DGAT1 juga berasosiasi signifikan (P<0.05) dengan asam lemak jenuh, yaitu asam stearat (C18:0) dan asam arakidat (C20:0) dan asam lemak tak jenuh tunggal, yaitu asam oleat (C18:1n9c). Gen DGAT1 memiliki kontribusi dalam karakteristik karkas dan komposisi asam lemak pada domba.Kata Kunci: domba, gen DGAT1, karakteristik karkas, PCR-RFLP, sifat perlemakan                                                              ABSTRACT            Characteristic of carcass and fatness traits of sheep is regulated by many genes such as DGAT1 (Diacylglycerol Acyltransferasel 1) gene. The research was aimed to investigate SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) of DGAT1 and its association with characteristic of carcass and fatness traits in Indonesian sheep. A total sample of sheeps used 150 rams of 10–12 months consisted 35 samples of compas agrinak sheep (CAS), 36 of barbados cross (BCS), 41 of garut composite (GCS), 20  of javanese fat tailed (JFT), and 18 of javanese thin tailed (JTT). Identification variant of DGAT1|ALuI were performed by PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism). The results of polymorphism of DGAT1 were found in JTT and JFT. However, SNP of DGAT1 in CAS, BCS and GCS were monomorfic. Two genotype namely CC and CT were found in JTT and JFT populations. A SNP of the DGAT1 was associated (P<0.05) with characteristic of carcass, including weight and length of carcass. The variant of DGAT1 was associated too with saturated fatty acids (SFA) including stearic acid (C18:0) and arachidic acid (C20:0), and mono unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) including oleic acid (C18:1n9c). The DGAT1 gene was contribute to characteristic carcass and fatty acid composition in sheep.Keywords: DGAT1 gene, characteristic carcass, fatness traits, PCR-RFLP, sheep

This study aimed to verify the polymorphisms in the porcine IL-6 gene and to elucidate its effects on litter size traits in Large White and Landrace sows. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the porcine IL-6 gene (g.91506415A>G, g.91507983A>G, g.91508173C>T, and g.91508716C>T) were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. There was no polymorphism observed on the three SNPs (g.91506415A>G, g.91507983A>G, and g.91508716C>T) of the porcine IL-6 gene. The porcine IL-6 g.91508173C>T polymorphism was found to be segregating in Large White and Landrace sows. The porcine IL-6 g.91508173C>T polymorphism was significantly associated with the total number born (TNB) and the number of piglets weaned alive (NWA) traits in Large White sows (P<0.05). Moreover, the porcine IL-6 g.91508173C>T polymorphism was significantly associated with the TNB, number born alive (NBA), and NWA traits in Landrace sows (P<0.05). These results indicated that the porcine IL-6 g.91508173C>T polymorphism was associated with litter size traits. These findings confirmed the importance of the IL-6 gene as a candidate gene for litter size traits in pigs.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the endothelin receptor B subtype 2 (EDNRB2) gene on plumage coloration in mule ducks. Test mating (white Tsaiya × white Muscovy ducks) in combination with polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR RFLP) was performed to investigate the effect of non synonymous SNPs in two maternal lines (a conservation and a selection population) on plumage coloration in mule ducks. One non synonymous SNP (c.995G>A) was identified in white Muscovy ducks and white Tsaiya ducks by PCR high resolution melting (PCR HRM) and DNA sequencing. Genotyping results showed that the c.995G>A locus is associated with plumage colour in two maternal populations of white Tsaiya ducks. Further, the maternal genotype of c.995G>A SNP affects the plumage colour of mule ducks. Therefore, the polymorphisms within the EDNRB2 gene at c.995G>A in white Tsaiya ducks may be used in marker assisted selection to improve the plumage colour of mule ducks.
