Objective:-
» Identification of QTL for milk yield, fat and protein percent in Buffaloes
using Daughter Design in
selected chromosomes.
» Identification of positional candidate genes within QTLs
and development of markers in Buffalo.
» Fine mapping of QTL with SNP markers.
Outcomes:-
» The most important outcome of the project shall be the buffalo specific
QTL markers for milk
production. The knowledge of the QTL markers shall help in quantum jump in
the buffalo productivity.
» The project will generate new fundamental knowledge about the genes
effecting milk production and
other related traits.
» The project shall provide leads for further research to pinpoint the
causative mutations in the gene or
its regulatory regions responsible for QTL effect.
» The project shall generate trained human resources to undertake QTL
identification work in other
livestock species.
» IPR generated shall be the property of the ICAR.
» It shall generate confidence among the researchers to take up similar work
for identification of genes
responsible for other economic traits especially the adaptive traits of
indigenous livestock.
» It shall help in
capacity building for undertaking work other species like goats. |
