Abstract: This study was conducted to detect the presence of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2) gene within the avian genome and cloned it into Pichia pastoris for future usage. DNA was extracted from feathers and preceded to BMP2 gene detection via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Agarose gel presented positive result for BMP2 gene amplification. Then BMP2 gene was then cloned into pCR2.1-TOPO plasmid and sent for sequencing to further confirm the presence of BMP2 gene. Followed by, inserted the BMP2 gene into Pichia Pink α-HC then allowed the BMP2 gene to express the BMP2 protein with Pichia pastoris expression System. SDS-PAGE results shown presence of the BMP2 protein and it was further confirm using Chromogenic Development method.
