Abstract: Beijing-you chicken is one of the precious local breeds in China. In the natural population, there are some multi-toed individuals because of the mutation of C-G base pair to an A-U pair at the 246 bp site in the LMBR1 gene. In this study, the genotype of multi-toed Beijing-you chicken was found to be different from that of Huadu Arbor Acres (AA) broiler, and the mutated base pair (A-U or C-G) was determined by PCR sequencing and restriction fragment polymorphism (RFLP) so that the breeds could be accurately discriminated from each other.

Key words: Beijing-you chicken, Huadu Arbor Acres broiler, polydactly, PCR sequencing, restriction fragment polymorphism
