Egyptian chickens, representing 2 breeds and 7 strains, were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP and sequencing techniques for detection of a non-synonymous dimorphism (G/A) in exon 14 of chicken Myxovirus resistance (<i>Mx</i>) gene. This dimorphic position is responsible for altering <i>Mx</i> protein's antiviral activity. Polymerase Chain reactions were performed using Egyptian chickens DNA and specific primer set to amplify <i>Mx</i> DNA fragments of 299 or 301 bp, containing the dimorphic position ...[more]
