Abstract excerpt
The polymorphism of a (TA)n(CA)n repeat microsatellite present in the third intron of the bovine kappa-casein gene (CASK) has been investigated. The existence of six alleles differing only in the number of dinucleotide repeats has been established. A total of 330 animals belonging to nine different pure bred Bos taurus French breeds or to a cross-bred Bos taurus x Bos indicus population (Créole) were genotyped....
