Abstract excerpt
An electrophoretic study of erythrocyte allozymes and serum proteins representing 32 genetic loci in 32 hamadryas baboons (Papio H.hamadryas) from Cologne and Frankfurt zoos revealed biallelic polymorphism in phosphoglucomutase (PGM), mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) and transferrin (Tf). Polymorphism amounted to P = 0.097 over 31 loci and observed heterozygosity to H(o) = 0.011, indicating significant reduction...
