Abstract
A method for determining the sex of bovine embryos has been established. Primers for a portion of the bovine amelogenin locus (AMX/Y) were used to amplify DNA present in either 0.1 microliter of blood or biopsies taken from 6-7-day-old embryos. The primers amplify a 280 bp band in females and a 280 and 217 bp bands in males. The method is rapid, does not require prior purification of DNA and contains an internal control which detects PCR failure.Entities:
