- Abstract
Using touchdown Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), this work intends to build a molecular sexing approach in 30 endangered Short-toed Coucals. This approach, which relied primarily on a non-destructive wing feather sample, allowed for the rapid and accurate determination of intron length in CHD1-Z (400 bp) and CHD1- W (260 bp) chromosomes. The umbilicus region of a feather calamus yielded higher quality of DNA with consistent yields in molecular sexing. As a result, this finding contributes to a better knowledge of the species’ sex ratio and provide insights into future population studies of C. retunguis, a critically endangered bird species.
