Scrapie-resistant sheep show certain coat colour characteristics.

Genetics research - 1 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Susceptibility to scrapie is known to be associated with polymorphisms at the prion protein (PrP) gene, and this association is the basis of current selective programmes implemented to control scrapie in many countries. However, these programmes might have unintended consequences for other traits that might be associated with PrP genotype. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between...
