摘要
Prion protein genetics plays a central role in transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, a disease occurring in human and animals. Here we report a 27-kb genomic sequence containing the goat PRNP gene. It shows, both in structure and content, a remarkable similarity with its sheep ortholog and can serve as a basis for future (comparative) studies with reference to the regulation of PRNP gene expression and the search for genetic tools to prevent/control/eradicate (goat) TSE.
