Abstract:

Polymorphic variants of keratin-associated protein (KAP) 3.2 gene in Sandyno and Nilagiri breeds of sheep were investigated. Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples of 125 Sandyno, Nilagiri and Dorset x Nilagiri breeds and 76 numbers of wool samples were collected and processed. A 393 bp segment was amplified by PCR using ovine specific primers for KAP 3.2 gene.

Keywords:
