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 differe...
