Genetic Diversity Of Goffin\'S Cockatoo Bird (Cacatua Goffini) Inferred From Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Gene Sequences

Genetic variability among 18 individuals of Goffin’s cockatoo bird (Cacatua goffini) was investigated using DNA sequences of cytochrome b gene. Two DNA fragments were amplified using two nucleotide primer pairs in the PCR. Eight hundred base pairs of cytochrome b gene were used in this analysis. The results showed that within the birds, there were 20 variable sites and 18 haplotypes (Hcg1- Hcg18). There were no identical DNA sequence and no dominant haplotype. Nucleotide (Pi) and Haplotype (Hd) diversities were 0.005437 and 1.0000, respectively. Proceeding of the International Conference on Bioscience and Biotechnology (ICBB) 2011.
