Abstract excerpt
Keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are components of cashmere fibres. The gene encoding the KAP1-3 protein (KRTAP1-3) has been described in goats, but little is known about sequence variation in this gene and if it affects cashmere fibre traits. In this study, we used a polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique to screen for nucleotide sequence variation in caprine...
