FIELD: biotechnology.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to biotechnology, particularly to molecular genetics and genosystematics. Invention can be used to detect counterfeit derivatives (blood, horn, meat, and so forth) of deer and substitute them with other livestock products (chicken, cattle, pig, horse, small horned livestock); during meat components raw materials screening, for raw materials and biologically active substance detection, as well as for control over conformity of composition declared by the manufacturer. Primers and destructible probes are developed on the basis of data of species-specific nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial DNA of animals. Species-specific areas are represented by a mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (COX 1) fragment.
EFFECT: use of a set of synthetic oligonucleotides enables reliably identifying representatives of the deer family.
