Characterization by RFLP analysis, of the Caprine beta-globin gene cluster in Norwegian dairy goats.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis has been used to characterize the beta-globin cluster in Norwegian dairy goats. Several polymorphic Taq I restriction sites were identified by double digestions with Bam HI, Hind III, and Eco RI, and restriction maps of the different beta C, beta A and beta F alleles were established. Allelic association between the previously established beta-globin types at the protein level and specific Taq I alleles was found. Furthermore, a preferential association between certain RFLP haplotypes and beta-globin types was observed.
