Abstract

 

Prolactin receptor (PRLR) and Peroxisome Proliferator Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1 Alpha (PPARGC1A) are candidate genes associated with milk protein and fat yield in dairy cattle. These genes were sequence characterized to identify exonic SNPs in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). Six novel buffalo specific SNPs were identified and novel PCR-RFLP loci for these SNPs were developed and validated. These loci can effectively be used for genotyping PRLR and PPARGC1A genes in recorded buffalo population for association studies with milk protein and fat yield.

 

Key words: Bubalus bubalis, PRLR gene, PPARGC1A gene, PCR-RFLP, genotyping.
