Polymorphism of the prion protein gene (PRNP) determines an animal's susceptibility to scrapie. Three polymorphisms at codons 136, 154, and 171 have been linked classical scrapie susceptibility, although many variants PRNP reported. However, no study has investigated in Nigerian sheep from drier agro-climate zones. In this study, we aimed identify polymorphism nucleotide sequences 126 by comparing them with public available studies on scrapie-affected sheep. Further, deployed Polyphen-2,...
