Abstract

Gazelle gazelle darreshourii belongs to Gazella genus and Gazella gazelle species which has been only reported from Faror protected area in the Persian Gulf. The aim of this study was to investigate phylogeny and genetic diversity of this population using Cytochrome b. 10 tissue samples due to flood were collected from Faror Island in February 2011. After DNA extraction, Part of Cytochrome b, 414 bp length, was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction and was sequenced. After editing,sequences were compaire to sequneces of Gazella genus on ncbi site. Then, Genetic factors between and within population such as nucleotide and haplotype variations and genetic distance were calculated and finally the phylogeny tree and haplotype network was drawn for these samples. Results were shown that all of samples were pertained to one haplotype and genetic distance between these samples was too low which could indicate unsuitable genetic variation in this small island population.
