Abstract:
A process for determining the haplotype of a fowl of the order Galliformes or the order Anseriformes which comprises:(i) providing a sample of DNA from said fowl;(ii) cleaving said sample of DNA with a restriction enzyme to provide cleavage reaction products;(iii) fractionating said cleavage reaction products;(iv) subjecting said cleavage reaction products to electrophoresis on a gel to produce a pattern of said cleavage reaction products on said gel;(v) hybridizing a probe complementary to the B-G subregion of the major histocompatibility complex of said fowl to said cleavage reaction products;(vi) detecting the pattern produced by said hybridized cleavage reaction products, and(vii) comparing said pattern with a pattern which results from the hybridization of said probe with the cleavage reaction products produced by the DNA of a fowl having a known B region haplotype.
