Figure S1. Molecular cloning of goat Nanog gene: a. PCR amplification of gNanog cDNA amplified 1049bp long PCR product. b. Cloning and transformation produced large number of gNanog positive colonies. c. PCR product (1049bp) amplified from of plasmid isolated from positive clones for confirmation of Nanog Gene inserts. Figure S2. cDNA sequence of goat Nanog gene. a. cDNA sequence containing ORF of 903bp(grey coloured area). b. ORF contains Hox domain coding region (green colour). Figure S3: Figure: S3 nucleotide sequence alignment of goat with cattle, buffalo, Pig, Human, and Mouse. Figure S4 Figure S4. Phylogenetic tree and percentage identity. A. phylogenetic tree among goat, cattle, buffalo, pig, human and mouse shows goat is evolutionary more closely related to cattle than other species. B. goat Nanog sequence is 96.2% identical to cattle and having 3.9 divergence to cattle which also shows the closeness of goat and cattle. Figure S5 Figure S5: Transfected CHO-K1(a,b,c,d) expressing Nanog gene with GFP as a reporter gene after 3 day of Transfection. Transfected CHO-K1 (e,f,g,h)expressing Nanog gene with GFP as a reporter gene after 4th passage of Transfection . Transfected CHO-K1 (i,j,k,l) expressing Nanog gene with GFP as a reporter gene after 7th passage of Transfection Figure S6: a. pAcGFP1-N1 expression vector. b.
