Abstract excerpt

A study of transferrin in 11 different European populations of Cervus elaphus as well as in one Cervus elephus x Cervus nippon hybrid population has revealed a polymorphism of this protein. Genetic analysis suggests that it is controlled by one gene locus with three codominant alleles. The allele...
