Abstract

Selected genes were analyzed in silico in three species: red fox (Vulpes vulpes), raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), and dog (Canis lupus familiaris). This type of analysis exemplifies current and potential research on gene expression. Four nucleotide sequences, of the genes IGF1, MYO15A, PAX3 and MC1R, were obtained from the NCBI online database. The analyses focused on the presence of CpG islands and two analytical techniques, BSP and MSP. The results from three computer programs, CpG Island Searcher®, BiSearch® and MethPrimer®, were discussed in detail. The applications were compared in terms of their functionality and usefulness.
