Application of a locus-specific DNA hybridization probe in the analysis of the slow-feathering endogenous virus complex of chickens.
Poultry science - 1 Sept 1991
Smith E J, Levin I
Abstract excerpt
To investigate further the sex-linked, slow-feathering (SF) locus, a DNA hybridization probe that flanks the integration site of endogenous virus ev21 was used to probe Southern blots from a variety of commercial SF White Leghorn (WL), broiler, and endangered lines. After HaeIII digestion of DNA from SF WL, the 5' and 3' provirus-cell junction fragments were seen in addition to a 2.5-kb fragment of cell sequences...
