Polymorphism of allelic variants of milk protein genes

Abstract

The polymorphism of allelic variants of milk productivity genes (alpha-lactoglobulin, beta-casein, kappa-casein, prolactin, somatotropin) in cattle of the yaroslavl breed was studied in conjunction with an assessment of the genetic diversity of the studied population. The distribution of frequencies of occurrence of genotypes in the genes of the studied herds (0.1...0.716049) was determined. Based on the calculations of the average values ??of the genetic diversity indices, the effective number of alleles (1.679...1.994), the Shannon information index (0.594...0.692), the observed heterozygosity (0.087...0.716), the expected heterozygosity (0.404...0.498), fixation index (-0.498...0.823).The coefficient of inbreeding of subpopulations in the studied genes relative to the entire population indicates a weak differentiation of different herds (-0.023 ... -0.002). According to the analysis of the equilibrium distribution of genotypes according to the Hardy-Weinberg law, it is noted that the largest part of the herds has an equilibrium distribution of genotypes. The exception is yaroslavka breeding Plant JSC for the A1A2 beta-casein gene (20.095) and Agromir LLC (Mikhailovskoe branch) for the beta-casein gene (15.581).
