Description
The W chromosome specific repetitive DNA units were detected easily by the XhoI digestion of genomic DNA, purified from a female whole blood sample, but could not be detected in male. Since the red blood cells of the chicken are nucleated, it is possible to obtain enough amounts of DNA preparation from a small volume of whole blood without sacrificing the animal. The detection of the female-specific repetitive DNA units is simple, reliable and efficient. By applying this technique, the identification of the sex in chickens was easily achived.
