A new PCR-RFLP within the domestic pigeon [Columba livia var. domestica] cytochrome b [MTCYB] gene
A total of 244 domestic pigeons (Columba livia var. domestica) were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method. A 999 bp fragment of the MTCYB gene was amplified. The amplification products were digested with restriction enzymes. PCR-RFLP for Mval restriction enzyme was observed. Frequencies of alleles were as follows: MTCYBC-0.926, MTCYBG- 0.074. The frequencies of MTCYB/Mval alleles found in this study for non-homing pigeons considerably deviate from the values found for homing/racing pigeons (allele MTCYBG occurred only in the non-homing breeds).
