GENES ASSISTED SELECTION AS INSTRUMENT OF THE BIODIVERSITY AND POOLING THE GENETIC DISEASES

Abstract

The objective it was analysis the prion protein for scrapie resistance genotyping as codon- amino acid at codon 136, 154, 171 from 5 known haplotypes resulting PrP Genotype. Tissue samples were collected at Institute for Research and Development Rusetu for study the scrapie resistance. Ovine scrapie is a member of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), a heterogeneous family of fatal neurologic disorders characterized by deposition of an abnormal isoform (prion protein [PrP] PrP-Sc) of a cellular sialoglycoprotein in neural tissue. One other objective it was analysis the stress resistance and F 18 + E.coli resistance of pigs. Tissue samples were collected at Institute for Research and Development Rusetu and from Romsuintest Peris. The results are favorable for use the genes assisted selection as instrument of the biodiversity and for selection the animals that are the positives characters.
