Abstract excerpt
Three polymorphisms were identified in the sixth intron of the CAST gene by PCR-RFLP using enzymes Msp I, Hinf I and Rsa I in 45 Jinpi F2 pigs. However, only three genotypes AACCEE, BBDDFF, and ABCDEF were detected in those pigs and the genotype frequencies were 0.1778, 0.2222 and 0.6000, respectively. Longissimus dorsi muscles were moved for paraffin serial sections and stained with hematoxylin-eosin or myosin...
