Comparative cytogenetic mapping of three genes involved in sex determination in four species of the family Canidae
Journal Title: Journal of Animal and Feed Sciences - Year 2010, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Advanced knowledge of the canine genome facilitates progress in studies on genome maps of other canids, including species considered also as farm animals. In this study canine BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) probes, harbouring three genes involved in sex determination (SOX9 - sex determining region Y- box 9, AMH - anti-Müllerian hormone and AR - androgen receptor), were mapped in the dog, red fox, arctic fox and Chinese raccoon dog chromosomes. Localization of these genes can be helpful in association studies focused on monogenetic intersexual disorders.
