Homologous nucleotide sequences of the flank of retrotranspozon PawS5 of R173 family in animal and plant genomes

A comparative analysis was carried out of the amplification product spectra received in polymerase chain reaction with the use of both animal (cattle, sheep and horse breeds) and plant (rice varieties) DNA and the flank of retrotransposon PawS5 of R173 family as a primer. The breed-specific traits in animals and the variety-specific traits in rice were revealed in the amplicons spectra. The possible reasons for presence in genomes of animals and plants of the homologous nucleotide sequences associated with the retrotransposon, their polymorphism and efficiency of use as an anchor for a polylocus genomic genotyping of plants and animals are discussed.
