Abstract: In order to screen the polymorphisms of JAK2 promoter in cattle and analyze the effect of SNPs on function elements of promoter. Two cattle breeds(Wuchuan black cattle and Guizhou Holstein cow)with significant difference in breeds property were selected to construct DNA pools, SNP sites were screened by direct sequencing subsequently. Results showed that 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)were found in the 5' flanking region and part of exon 1 which included G+5A and G+104A. Furthermore, bioinformatics tools were used to predict the core region of the promoter. It demonstrated that 1 new transcription factors binding sites emerged while 9 previous transcription factors binding sites disappeared based on the SNPs found in this study, and it also showed that SNP of G+5A could change the secondary structure of RNA, transcription factors binding sites and range of CpG island dramatically by using various softwares.
