Abstract excerpt

Three polymorphisms were identified in a 1.6-kb fragment of the porcine calpastatin (CAST) gene and these polymorphisms were used for genetic linkage mapping. Linkage analysis revealed significant linkage of CAST to five microsatellites previously mapped to porcine chromosome 2; these microsatell...
