Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Resistance and susceptibility to scrapie has been associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms located within codons 136, 154 and 171 of the ovine prion protein gene (PRNP). Dual-labelled HyBeacon probes were developed to analyse single and clustered polymorphisms within these and neighbouring codons. METHODS: Extracted DNAs and unpurified blood samples were genotyped with respect to polymorphisms...
