Multimillion dollar poultry industry, always face the threats from
emerging/ re-emerging poultry diseases. A major element of disease
resistance is the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) and has
regions i.e. B-F, B-L and B-G. BF2 is a predominantly expressed
class I gene. Red jungle fowl (RJF) is the sole ancestor of all the
present day chicken. The divergence between RJF and domestic
chicken is presumed to have originated some 8000 years back. During
the 8000 years, the chicken genome has undergone tremendous changes
due to intentional selection. There is a general consensus among
the animal breeders that many traits/alleles, especially related to
adaptability are lost during intense selection. Hence, comparative
genomic studies of the RJF and its present day domesticated
descendents would answer many of these apprehensions on unequivocal
terms. Hence, our aim is to characterize the BF2 gene in RJF.
