Analysis of a SNP linked to lactase persistence: An exercise for teaching molecular biology techniques to undergraduates.

Biochemistry and molecular biology education : a bimonthly publication of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology - 1 Jan 2000

Schultheis Patrick J, Bowling Bethany V

Abstract excerpt

Recent experimental evidence indicates that the ability of adults to tolerate milk, cheese, and other lactose-containing dairy products is an autosomal dominant trait that co-evolved with dairy farming in Central Europe about 7,500 years ago. Among persons of European descent, this trait is strongly associated with a C to T substitution at a polymorphic site 13,910 bp upstream of the lactase gene. This mutation...
