Genetic variation and gene conversions within the bovine NK-lysin gene family.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 2017

Chen J, Lee M O, Womack J E

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to a single copy of the NK-lysin gene in humans and many other mammals, we previously identified a family of four expressed NK-lysin genes arising by tandem duplications on cattle chromosome 11. Here, we report two genetic variants in the bovine NK-lysin complex with potential importance in the bovine innate immune system. The first one is a 9-bp deletion causing a three-amino-acid deletion in the...
