Abstract excerpt
The characterization of casein polymorphism is an essential step in order to understand the genetic basis of milk quality in dairy ruminants. In this work, we report the identification of a regulatory mutation at the buffalo αs1-casein (CSN1S1) gene that alters the normal processing of the primary transcript. Sequencing of CSN1S1 cDNA from individuals harbouring this new variant revealed that its most distinctive...
