[Cloning, expression analysis and RNA interference of FGF5 gene in sheep].

The cDNA of fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) gene in sheep was cloned, and the nucleotides sequence homology of FGF5 was compared with other six mammal. In addition, the expression of FGF5 in different tissues was analysed. Gene FGF5 was then recombined into prokaryotic expression vector (pGEX-4T-2) and RNA interference vector (pSilencer 5.
