Abstract—
Marker-assisted selection for improving reindeer meat production is at the early stages of development, which requires analysis of variation within the candidate genes for meat production. The calpastatin and androgen receptor genes were chosen as such genes to study their variability in reindeer. In different domesticated animal species, polymorphisms and indels in the androgen receptor gene were associated with growth and weight characteristics. Based on the results from many studies, sequence variation in the calpastatin CAST gene region was associated with meat quality and meat production of livestock. Principal component analysis of CAST variability grouped wild and domestic deer from Yakutia, as well as wild and domestic deer from Amur oblast, which implies gene flow between local breeds of domesticated deer and wild populations. At the same time, in the case of three microsatellite loci found in the present study in the intron of the androgen receptor gene, principal component analysis separated wild and domestic deer.
期刊介绍：
Russian Journal of Genetics is a journal intended to make significant contribution to the development of genetics. The journal publishes reviews and experimental papers in the areas of theoretical and applied genetics. It presents fundamental research on genetic processes at molecular, cell, organism, and population levels, including problems of the conservation and rational management of genetic resources and the functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and medical genetics.
