    abstract = {The complete CDS sequences of three duck genes-<I>MJD1</I>, <I>RHOG</I> and <I>RB11A</I> were amplified using RT-PCR based on the sequence information of the mouse or other vertebrates. Sequence analysis of these three genes revealed that the duck <I>MJD1</I> gene encodes a protein of 352 amino acids and has high homology with the Machado-Joseph disease protein 1 homolog (MJD1) of four species-rat (85%), human (87%), mouse (86%) and chicken (76%). The duck <I>RHOG</I> gene encodes a protein of 191 amino acids and has high homology with the RhoG precursor (RHOG) of six species-pig (100%), human, mouse and rat (98%), zebrafish (79%) and chiken (81%). The duck <I>RB11A</I> gene encodes a protein of 216 amino acids and has high homology with the Ras-related protein Rab-11A (RB11A) of nine species-chicken (99%), rat, human, rabbit, pig, mouse, dog and orangutan (99%) and bovine (98%). The phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the duck MJD1 has a closer genetic relationship with the MJD1 of human and the duck RHOG has closer genetic relationships with the RHOG of pig but the duck RB11A has a closer genetic relationship with the RB11A of chicken. The <I>RT-PCR</I> gene expression analysis indicated that the duck <I>MJD1</I>, <I>RHOG</I> and <I>RB11A</I> gene was differentially expressed in tissues including lung, pancreas, intestine, fat, heart, spleen, liver and muscle. The study established the primary foundation for further research on these three duck genes.}
