Alignment of 144 bp of sheep genomic sequence flanking the identified SNP with homologous cattle, human, and mouse genomic sequence. The SNP is identified with the arrow. Percentage homology with the sheep sequence ranged from 99.3% identical (cattle) to 78.4% identical (mouse). The 10-bp motif for a MyoD recognition site is underlined. Primers used for RT-PCR experiments are double underlined.
