Abstract
The 5’ flanking region of the α‐lactalbumin gene from Bos indicus (Brahman) and Bos taurus (Holstein) have been sequenced. The sequences were compared to detect potential sequence variations. The 538 bp of 5’ flanking region contained nine sequence variations between the two breeds. Seven of the variations occur in the 5’ flanking region of the α‐lactalbumin gene and two occur in the region encoding the 5’ untranslated region of the mRNA. Seven of the variations are conservative purine to purine or pyrimidine to pyrimidine variations, while two are purine to pyrimidine variations.
