Alignment of the KRTAP27-1 variants identified in goats with the human KRTAP27-1 coding sequence. The prefixes “g” and “h” stand for goat and human sequences, respectively, and homology with caprine KRTAP27-1*A is indicated by dashes. Nucleotides in the coding region are shown in uppercase, while those in the noncoding region are in lowercase. The primer-binding regions are indicated with horizontal lines above the sequences, and the start codon (ATG) and stop codon (TAA and TGA) are shown in bold. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in caprine KRTAP27-1 are indicated. A reverse complementary Chi sequence (CCACCAGC) and a Chi-like sequence (ACTGGTGG) are shaded. The numbering of the nucleotides and amino acids follows the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) nomenclature (http://varnomen.hgvs.org/). The GenBank Accession Numbers of these sequences are MN934937 (gKRTAP27-1*A), MN934938 (gKRTAP27-1*B), MN934939 (gKRTAP27-1*C) and AB096937 (hKRTAP27-1). The predicted caprine KRTAP27-1 sequence described in Caprine Genome Assembly sequence NC_030808.1 is identical to gKRTAP27-1*A and hence is not shown separately.
