    • Linkage disequilibrium in the chromosomal region surrounding the prion protein gene (Prnp) in Norwegian dairy goat

      The Norwegian dairy goat is the only known mammal that naturally lacks cellular prion protein (PrPC); this due to a nonsense mutation in the prion protein gene (PRNP). This makes the goats interesting model animals in ...
