    摘要: The present invention provides novel isolated nucleic acids that comprise an avian nucleic acid sequence comprising a ovomucoid gene expression control region. The ovomucoid promoter region of the present invention will allow expression of an operably linked heterologous nucleic acid insert in a transfected avian cell such as, for example, an oviduct cell. The isolated avian ovomucoid of the present invention may be operably linked with a selected nucleic acid insert, wherein the nucleic acid insert encodes a polypeptide desired to be expressed in a transfected cell. The recombinant DNA of the present invention may further comprise a polyadenylation signal sequence. The present invention further includes expression vectors comprising an isolated avian ovomucoid gene expression control region of the present invention, and transfected cells and transgenic avians comprising the expression vectors.

    摘要: Genetic modification or selection of avians requires that large numbers of birds be genetically analyzed for sequences of interest. Typically, DNA is extracted on an individual basis from samples taken from the birds. Current methods of DNA extraction extract the DNA from blood or other tissue using tedious and time-consuming procedures. The present invention provides a high throughput screening assay for detecting a genetic sequence in multiple samples. The assay further provides a DNA extraction method that allows DNA to be extracted rapidly from multiple avian samples, such as red blood cells. The extraction method is extremely reliable and does not require that each sample be quantitated post-extraction. The extracted DNA can be used for a variety of genetic assays, including a high throughput screening assay to identify insertions of a transgene. The present invention is particularly useful for extracting DNA from nucleated RBCs. Therefore, the method can be applied towards genetic analysis of avians, fish, reptiles and amphibians.
