Casein Gene Cluster in Camelids: Comparative Genome Analysis and New Findings on Haplotype Variability and Physical Mapping

The structure of casein genes has been fully understood in llamas, whereas in other camelids, this information is still incomplete. In fact, structure and polymorphisms have been identified in three (CSN1S1, αs1-CN; CSN2, β-CN; CSN3, κ-CN) out of four casein genes, whereas controversial information...
