  • Method of determining efficiency of ovum collection in bovine
    Patent number: 8043817
    Abstract: The novel means by which an efficiency of ovum collection can be easily determined in bovine at gene level is disclosed. The present inventors performed the genomic linkage analysis using bovine populations with high and low efficiency of ovum collection and to identify GRIA1 gene, which encodes an ion channel protein, as a factor deeply related to an efficiency of ovum collection. Bovines having a mutation (e.g. the amino acid substitution of aa306) in GRIA1 produce significantly fewer ova on superovulatory treatment than those not having the mutation. Therefore, the efficiency of ovum collection can be determined based on the existence of a mutation in GRIA1 gene.

  • Method for gene diagnosis of bovine Hsp70 deficiency
    Publication number: 20040146878
    Abstract: A method for gene diagnosis of bovine Hsp70 deficiency, which comprises (a) a step of obtaining a bovine nucleic acid sample, (b) a step of subjecting the nucleic acid sample obtained in step (a) to a gene amplification reaction to obtain a nucleic acid fragment in which a region including a mutation site likely to be present in bovine Hsp70 gene is amplified, and (c) a step of examining the presence of mutation on the nucleic acid fragment in step (b), the region including the mutation site being a region including 1997-11030 position of a base sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1 of SEQUENCE LISTING in a base sequence of bovine Hsp70 gene. According to the invention, bovine Hsp70 deficiency and its carrier can be detected and diagnosed by a genetic engineering method easily and quickly, and a kit used for this purpose is provided.
