Abstract | ||
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a cluster of genes found in vertebrate. In chicken it’s located in chromosome 16, exactly linked with LEI0258 microsatellite marker (Accession no. KF534927.1). Current study was done to sequence the LEI0258 microsatellite marker in four genetic groups of Kurdish local chicken. Which was namely Black, Black brown neck, White shank feather, and White non-feathering shank. Fresh blood samples were withdrawn from wing vein and genomic DNA was isolated from each to determine the sequences. The result showed that the sequences of the four genetic groups differ from each other. Two clusters were found among the genetic groups the first content Black and black brown neck, and the second cluster content White shank feather and the white non-feathering shank. | ||
