Abstract excerpt
On the basis of comparisons between cattle and sheep genome mapping information the ovine alpha-amylase gene was examined as a possible genetic marker for milk traits in sheep. The objective of the present study was to isolate, map and determine whether this gene is a candidate gene for milk traits. DNA fragments (832 and 2360 bp) corresponding to two different AMY genes were isolated, and one SNP in intron 3 and...
