Abstract excerpt
The sequence information of the genomic form of the human ABO blood group orthologous gene (erythrocyte antigen A, EAA) is not complete in pigs. Therefore, we cloned and characterized the nucleotide sequence of EAA intron 7, which is critical to understand genetic difference between A and 0 blood groups in pigs, covering complete genomic sequence information of EAA excluding a ~560bp unsequencible gap. We also...
