Abstract excerpt

A genomic clone spanning 16 kb of the GH receptor gene was mapped and used as a probe for identifying restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in chickens. Several strains of meat-type and egg laying chickens were found to segregate for an HindIII RFLP located in the intron preceding exo...
