Abstract excerpt
This study was conducted to identify the association of coding variations in the HSPA8 gene with heat stress in two different breeds of sheep. All the coding regions of the HSPA8 gene of Awassi and Arabi sheep were covered by amplifying nine exons. A single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was utilized to assess the genetic variations in both breeds. The possible association of the observed genotypes with...
