Abstract excerpt
The B allele of the bovine alpha (S2)-casein gene (CSN1S2) was characterized at the molecular level and the distribution of zebu-specific milk protein alleles was determined in 26 cattle breeds originating from 3 continents. The CSN1S2*B allele is characterized by a C --> T transition affecting n...
