Abstract excerpt
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detection of a MspI-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the bovine ornithine decarboxylase gene was developed, and the allele frequencies of the polymorphism in two groups of Holstein bulls representing progeny-tested bulls during the 1950s-1960s and 1980s, respectively, were estimated. The frequencies of the MspI(-) allele ere 0.229 and 0.077 and...
