Xác định trình tự gen mã hóa Cytochrome b của hệ gen ty thể và mối quan hệ di truyền của loài cá heo Ông sư (Orcaella brevirostris Gray, 1866) vùng biển Kiên Giang, Việt Nam

Abstract

In this study, two samples of Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris Gray, 1866) in Kien Giang waters, Vietnam were collected. The phylogenetic tree showed that Irrawaddy dolphins in Vietnam had a close genetic relationship to Irrawaddy dolphins in Indonesia and Laos which have been registered in the Gene Bank. This is the latest research in Vietnam about determining the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence and the hereditary relationship of Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris Gray, 1866) in Kien Giang waters. This results contributed to the conservative research and development of this valuable and rare marine mammal species.
