Abstract

Tenderness is one of the important characteristics of meat and desired to consumers. MYF5 plays a key role in the regulating of formation and development of skeletal muscle and considered as a candidate gene associated with growth and meat quality characteristics. In this study blood samples from 180 camels; include 40 Camelus bactrinus and 140 Camelus deramedarius was randomly collected. To ascertain whether there was variation in the camel MYF5 gene, we have developed a method of PCR–single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR–SSCP) analysis. In this study, exon 1 region of the MYF5 gene were investigated and four unique SSCP patterns observed. Two SNPs were detected with substitution of A/G and G/A in 97 and 367 position, respectively that create four haplotypes, related to banding patterns. In comparison to the other populations of one humped camels, genetic divergence between populations showed that Bactrian camels have a greater genetic distance.
