The invention discloses a method for selecting a
molecular marker for goat yeaning traits, which comprises the following steps of: taking a goat
genome DNA sequence as a template, amplifying KITL
gene introns 1 and 6 by using primers P1 and P2 under a PCR condition in the presence of TaqDNA
polymerase, buffer environment, Mg2+ and dNTPs respectively, and judging the size of a destination fragment according to an
agarose gel electrophoresis result; digesting the PCR amplification product of the primer P1 by using
restriction enzyme CviAII, and then detecting the
enzyme digested amplification fragment by using
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, wherein the amplification product of the primer P1 has
mutation of two basic groups; detecting the PCR amplification product of the primer P2 by adopting the
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, wherein the amplification product of the primer P2 has
mutation of one basic group; and then performing
gene analysis and
gene frequency analysis on the amplification products of the primers P1 and P2, and performing association analysis between the amplification products and the yeaning numbers of Guanzhong dairy goats, western Saanen dairy goats and Boer goats, wherein the analysis results show that an SNPs site of the KITL gene, detected by the primers P1 and P2, can be taken as the
molecular marker for goat yeaning trait selection.
