AB  - Native goats of importance in the economy of
rural households are also important as genetic reserves
that account for the reserving genetic diversity in native
goat breeds of Iran because of the little population size is
necessary for breeding goals and increasing their
production. The first step is determination of genetic
diversity in existing populations. Among the genetic
markers, mtDNA sequencing is one of the most useful and
common methods employed for inferring phylogenetic
relationship between close related species and population
and conservation of species. The object this study was
carried out for determination of the mitochondrial ND6
gene sequence in Mahabadi native goat in Iran. For this
study blood samples were taken randomly from 30 goats.
After extracting DNA, ND6 gene of mtDNA was
amplified with specific primers using PCR and after
purification was sequenced. The phylogenic tree was
drawn with the consensus sequence of other similar
sequences of different important livestock species
obtained from GenBank. In the phylogenic tree, Mahabadi
native goat was clustered with such as sheep, cattle, pig,
horse, camel and swamp buffalo breeds. This is possible
because of the conserved area is ND6 in goats.
