Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to locate and detect genetic variation in the sheep FABP3 gene, a candidate gene for milk and meat quality traits in sheep. We have obtained an almost complete sequence (4,689 bp, excluding a part of intron 1) of the sheep FABP3 gene using PCR-based comparative genome walking. Sheep FABP3 has been located to chromosome 2 by sheep sequence-specific PCR on DNA from a sheep/rodent cell...
