## Summary A resequencing approach was adopted to identify sequence variants in the __PRNP__ gene that may affect susceptibility or resistance to bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The entire __PRNP__ gene (>21βkb) was sequenced from 26 chromosomes from a group of HolsteinβFriesian cows, as well as
## Summary Twentyβfour microsatellite sites with at least three repeats were found in the bovine prion protein gene (__PRNP__) and 23 in the ovine __PRNP__ gene. Eight microsatellite sites were polymorphic in cattle and six in sheep with up to 10 alleles per site. In many cases allelic DNA fragment
