Identification of the 10-bp indel polymorphism in the bovine PAX7 gene. (A) BLAST results for two different partial promoter sequences of PAX7. Seq. 1 was the sequences from NCBI (accession no. NC_007300); Seq. 2 was obtained by DNA sequencing of the bovine PAX7 promoter with the 10-bp deletion. (B) Sequencing maps of the 10-bp indel polymorphism. Top: the rectangular frame contains the inserted nucleotides; bottom: the triangle shows the position of the 10-bp deletion. (C) Genotyping patterns of the 10-bp indel polymorphism obtained by polyacrylamide gels electrophoresis. Lanes 1, 3, 4: Ins-Del genotype; lane 2: Del-Del genotype; lane 5: Ins-Ins genotype.
