Abstract excerpt

So far, at least eight alleles in the goat CSN2 locus have been associated with the level of beta-casein expression in milk. Alleles CSN2(A), CSN2(A1), CSN2(B), CSN2(C), CSN2(D) and CSN2(E) have been associated with normal content (allele effects of about 5 g of beta-casein per litre), whereas the CSN2(0) and CSN2(01) alleles have been associated with non-detectable levels of beta-casein. Most of these alleles...
