Abstract
As a result of the work, a comprehensive analysis of the connection of the transcriptional activity of the LCORL gene in the transverse breast muscle of the northern deer of the Nenetskaya breed with its killer mass was carried out.
A comparative analysis of the level of relative expression of the LCORL gene in the studied fabric in deer in various groups on the basis of “slaughter mass” showed that the LCORL gene is highly expressed in the slaughter group of 50.2–59.2 kg (Median = 0.367), and the lowest expression in the deer group 60.2–75.0 kg (Median = 0.036). The analysis of literary sources revealed that the tissue expression of the LCORL gene, taking into account the weight characteristics of the deer, was not previously studied. The results of this study provide new information about the features of the expression of the LCORL gene in the northern reindeer of the Nenetsk breed, taking into account tissue -specificity and letters.
An analysis of correlation ties using the Dersman criterion did not reveal a multidirectional dependence of the level of relative expression of the LCORL gene in samples of the transverse chest muscle with a slaughter mass of deer of different groups, which can apparently be due to the features of the sample of deer.
Supporting agencies: The research was carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation on the topic No. 124020200114-7.
