Abstract excerpt
We describe the development of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach for analysis of genetic diversity at the DQA loci in African Bos indicus and Bos taurus cattle. This approach, equally effective in European and Asian cattle breeds, detects the presence or absence of DQA1 and most duplicated DQA2 genes. Nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence analysis of the highly polymorphic second exons, in...
