Use of multiallelic human DNA probes to detect polymorphisms in the porcine genome.
Two human variable-number tandem repeat probes, pYNH24 and pYNA23, were examined for their possible ability to detect polymorphisms in the porcine genome. Useful DNA polymorphisms were detected in the porcine species, using both probes. In addition, results of Southern blot analysis of these markers in family studies indicated that the genome fragments obey mendelian laws of inheritance.
