Abstract

Gazelle are endangered species that their populations are declining sharply. Therefore need to conservation programs. Nine samples were collected from seven Gezella Genus in Fars province of Iran. The study was carried out base on mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene sequencing. Obtained sequencing form samples comparing with sequences available in Gene banks as NCBI and EMBL with BLAST tools after approved the sequences of this study. The phylogenetic tree was drawing with MEGA 5.2 software. Analysis of molecular variance in was done with software Arlequine 3 software. The results showed that the differences among and within populations are 88.09 and 11.91, respectively. The gene flow rate is low and fixation index is 0.88, respectively. Fst is greater than 0.25 indicate, showed that the genetic variance was good in the samples. Persian gazelle haplotype analysis with network software suggested that two sample of Bamoo3 and Abade2 have common haplotype, Jebeer haplotype network showed that Bahram goor's samples have common haplotype and Hormod's samples formed a separate haplotype.
