Abstract

Novel DNA probes for determining the sex of parrots in captive breeding programs and in wild populations are disclosed. The unique DNA probes of the present invention are sex specific, but not parrot-species specific. In addition, the DNA probes of the present invention are reliable, yield results within approximately 24 hours, easy to use, and are not harmful to the parrots being tested.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 20 December 1994 (20.12.94); original claims 1-18 replaced by new claims 1-17 (5 pages)]
(1) An oligonucleotide probe having an effective number of nucleotides for hybridizing specifically with a DΝA segment which is characteristic for female parrots of the Psittacidae genus, the DΝA segment being located on the chromosome of the female parrot of the Psittacidae genus.
(2) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim
1, said probe further including a labeled moiety so that, when said labeled probe is hybridized to the DΝA segment, the DΝA segment on the chromosome can be detected.
(3) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim
2, said labeled moiety being a fluorophore.
(4) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim
3, said fluorophore being selected from a group consisting of a fluoroscein, a rhodamine or any other fluorophore. (5) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim 2, said labeled moiety being selected from a group consisting of biotin and a radioisotope.
(6) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim 1, said probe having a periodicity of groups of about 2 to about 6 thymine or adenine residues, said groups being repeated on average of about 10.5 nucleotides.
(7) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim 1, said oligonucleotide probe further having a curved DNA element.
(8) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim 1, said oligonucleotide probe having a nucleotide sequence selected from a group having the following 5'-3' sequence or 3'-5' sequence or an equivalent sequence or an effective segment thereof:

(9) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim 1, said probe being a DNA probe.
(10) An oligonucleotide probe as recited in claim 1, said probe being a RNA probe.
(11) A method of determining the sex of a parrot of the Psittacidae genus, said method comprising: hybridizing the labeled probe of claim 2 to the female chromosome DNA of the animal; and detecting the labeled probe hybridized to the DNA segment on the female chromosome of the parrot to identify the female chromosome of the parrot.
(12) A method as recited in claim 11, said detecting step comprises: visualizing the labeled probe hybridized to the DNA segment.
(13) A method as recited in claim 11, the labeled probe being a labeled DNA probe.
(14) A method as recited in claim 11, the labeled probe being a labeled RNA probe.
(15) A kit for determining the sex of a parrot of the Psittacidae genus, said kit comprising: a.) an oligonucleotide probe of claim 1; and b.) components for carrying out an assay to determine the sex of the parrot.
(16) A kit as recited in claim 15, said oligonucleotide probe being a DNA probe.
(17) A kit as recited in claim 15, said oligonucleotide probe being a RNA probe.
