Abstract excerpt
Four novel alleles of the adult beta-globin gene of Capra hircus were observed in an extended study on hemoglobin polymorphism in goat breeds living in the island of Sardinia Nucleotide sequencing showed that one of these alleles is due to a 2 bp substitution at codon 125 (CTG --> GAG, Leu --> Glu). Two substitutions, the silent CTT --> CTC for Leu at codon 78 and the conservative AAG --> AGG (Lys --> Arg) at...
