Area of Science:

  • Animal Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Zoology

Background:

  • The CSN1S2 gene plays a role in milk protein composition.
  • Understanding genetic diversity is crucial for effective breeding programs and conservation strategies in goat populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the genetic polymorphism and diversity of the CSN1S2 gene in five distinct goat breeds.
  • To compare the genetic variability among Xinong Saanen dairy, Guanzhong dairy, Shaannan white, Angora, and Boer goats.

Main Methods:

  • Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was employed to analyze the CSN1S2 gene.
  • A 310 bp PCR product was amplified and digested with the Alw26I restriction enzyme.
  • Genetic diversity indices including heterozygosity, effective allele number, Shannon entropy, and polymorphism information content were calculated.

Main Results:

  • Polymorphism was detected in the CSN1S2 gene across all five goat breeds, with populations in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
  • Guanzhong dairy goats displayed the highest levels of genetic diversity and polymorphism.
  • Xinong Saanen dairy goats and Shaannan white goats showed intermediate diversity, while Angora and Boer goats exhibited the lowest genetic variability.

Conclusions:

  • Significant variations in genetic diversity exist among the studied goat breeds.
  • Guanzhong dairy goats possess rich genetic resources, making them valuable for future breeding and conservation efforts.
  • The findings provide insights into the genetic structure of these goat populations, aiding in targeted management strategies.
