Restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the growth hormone gene in pigs.
Pigs from four Danish and two Swedish populations were examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at the growth hormone (GH) gene. Polymorphism was detected with the restriction enzymes DraI and TaqI. A comparison of the Danish populations showed significant differences among their allelic frequencies.
