Abstract excerpt
The objective of this work was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the ovine acetyl-coenzyme A acyltransferase 2 (ACAA2) gene and investigate their association with milk production traits. Molecular characterization was accomplished by sequencing the entire coding region and the 3' and 5' untranslated regions (UTR) of the ACAA2 gene from individuals of the Chios sheep bred in Cyprus. All exons...
