Genetic variations of gene in exon 2 of South African Dorper sheep.

Objective: The study was conducted to identify the sequence variation of ( in exon 2 of South African Dorper sheep.

Materials And Methods: Blood samples were collected from fifty ( 50) South African Dorper sheep aged between 3 and 4 years. The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted, amplified, and sequenced for the gene.
