ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a method for determining nucleotides of a bird's W specific chromosome. The method comprises the steps of (a) obtaining a DNA sequence which includes the W specific chromosome from the bird. Then, there is the step of identifying nucleotides of the DNA sequence of the W specific chromosome. The present invention also pertains to a method of determining a sex of a bird, and a method of determining genetic relatedness between two birds. The present invention also pertains to a method for identifying a bird. Moreover, the present invention pertains to a method for determining predictive pairing for the genetic diversity of two birds. In another embodiment, the present invention pertains to a method for determining reproductive competence of a bird. In yet another embodiment, the present invention pertains to a method for predicting reproductive output of two or more birds. The present invention also pertains to a method for determining nucleotides of a bird's W specific chromosome. The method comprises the step of obtaining biological material of the bird. Then, there is the step of introducing a desired microsatellite probe to the biological material so that the W specific chromosome is indicated.
