Abstract

A fragment of 1586bp of caprine gene, previously associated with meat tenderness in cattle, was analyzed using direct DNA sequencing. A total 45 variations were identified in CAPN1 gene and compared with that of Bos taurus (AF252504S1). These variations can be used in further research for association between gene polymorphisms and goat meat quality traits.
