Figure 4.

Nucleotide sequences of caprine KRTAP24-1 variants A–D. The sequences exclude the PCR primer binding regions. Nucleotides in the coding region are shown in uppercase, while those outside the coding region are in lowercase. A putative Chi-like sequence (c.380 to c.387) and the predicted ATG start codon and TAG stop codon are boxed. Dashes signify homology with the KRTAP24-1 variant A sequence. The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) positions are shown above the sequences, and those that would result in amino acid changes are indicated. The numbering of nucleotides and amino acids follows the HGVS nomenclature guidelines [22].
