Abstract excerpt

The leptin gene was studied as a marker for productive traits in Balkhi sheep. A total of 60 blood samples were collected from Balkhi sheep, and body measurements and weights were recorded. In the CDS (coding sequence) region of the Leptin gene, a 471 bp fragment was amplified by PCR with a pair of (forward and reverse) specific primers. Two novel SNPs were detected at positions (g.348 G > T) and (g.394 G > A)....
