Abstract
The article presents data on determining the suitability of the CYTB gene for typing rabbits of the Soviet Chinchilla breed. The detection of the target site of the CYTB gene was carried out by real-time PCR using highly specific primers and an amplifier probe; the PCR product was used in the Sanger sequencing reaction. The experiment determined that the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene can act as a marker for the genetic assessment of the purity of the Soviet Chinchilla rabbit breed and the suitability of individuals for further breeding. The method of sequencing of this section of the cytochrome b gene showed its efficacy and practical significance, allowing animals to be screened over a fairly short period of time for their use in breeding and genetic work or other research purposes.
