Abstract: A 3′-untranslated region (UTR) DNA sequence (1 064 bp) of Myostatin gene in goose was obtained by PCR, using forward primer devised by Myostatin gene of the goose and reverse primer devised by Myostatin gene of the chicken. It has a polyA tail-signal sequence (TAATAAA) and highfrequency TTTT sequences (a kind of high conservative region). Compared with 12 other species’ same gene sequence, it has the highest homology with chicken (up to 87.1%) and the lowest homology with fishes (down to 11%). The phylogenetic tree constructed by 3′-UTR of Myostatin genes in these 13 species shows that 3′-UTR sequence can offer certain information for animal’s evolution.
