Abstract excerpt
The present study explored the association between a point mutation (g.857G>A) in the IGF-1 gene and performance traits in Harnali Sheep. Genomic DNA was extracted from 110 Harnali sheep using an Automated Maxell RSC DNA/RNA purification system. A 294 bp fragment, covering the 5' flanking region of the IGF-1 gene, was amplified with specific primers. The resulting PCR product, harboring the g.857G>A mutation, was...
