| Abstract | ||
| The aim of present study was investigation of D-loop region diversity in mitochondrial DNA of Iranian Dromedary and Bactrian camels. Investigation about camels in genome level could help to better understanding and conscious preservation of them. As samples in current study, we used 45 dromedary camels that selected from different regions (camel breeding station of Yazd, Trod station and Semnan’s herds), as well as 29 Bactrian camels collected from Ardabil province. Mitochondrial region of D-loop was used for this study. A fragment of 605bp from mitochondrial DNA corresponding to D-loop was amplified and then sequenced in all samples. Results indicate that diversity of D-loop in dromedaries was significantly more than Bactrian camels. As the number of mutations in D-loop of dromedary camels were 51 times higher than Bactrian camels. The differences in the mutation rate in studied region may be due to different selective pressure that two camel species have experienced. | ||
