Genetic variability of the subfamily Anserinae defined RAPD analysis

The interspecific genetic variability of the subfamily Anserinae was investigated. To this end, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed.

Description
Summary:The interspecific genetic variability of the subfamily Anserinae was investigated. To this end, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed. Ten random primers were used for RAPD analysis. Seven species (Anser albifrons, Branta canadensis, Anser anser, Anser fabalis, Anser erythropus, Cygnus cygnus, Cygnus olor) were investigated. Cluster data analysis showed that all species could be separates into two big groups, one of them containing species of the genus Cygnus. In the other group White-fronted goose clearly stand out from the other species. This can be explained by a high intraspecific genetic variability of this species. The data of the DNA fragment analysis showed what OI-5 (studied best) can be used as a specific genetic marker for White-fronted goose (Anser albifrons), OI-2, OI-3, OI-6, OI-7, OI-9, OI-11 and OI-12 for Mute Swan ( Cygnus olor), OI-6 (studied best) for Whooper Swan (Cygnus cygnus).
