Abstract excerpt
Sequence analysis of 4,230 bp of the 3' end of the ornithine decarboxylase gene of 20 chickens from a noninbred White Leghorn strain revealed a total of 62 polymorphisms. Of these 61% were transitions, 24% were transversions, and 16% were deletions or insertions. Despite the high number of polymorphisms, only 3 haplotypes were present among the 40 alleles analyzed. Based on the genetic distances between...
