De. Moody et al., ASSIGNMENT OF THE GROWTH-HORMONE RECEPTOR GENE TO BOVINE CHROMOSOME-20 USING LINKAGE ANALYSIS AND SOMATIC-CELL MAPPING, Animal genetics, 26(5), 1995, pp. 341-343
A polymorphism was identified in the bovine growth hormone receptor (G
HR) gene by digesting polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products with th
e restriction enzyme Alul. Two alleles were segregating in cattle of B
os indicus descent, but one allele appears to be fixed in Bos taurus c
attle. GHR was localized to bovine chromosome 20 using bovine-rodent h
ybrid cell lines and linkage analysis.
