Abstract

Pigs from four Danish and two Swedish populations were examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) at the growth hormone (GH) gene. Polymorphism was detected with the restriction enzymes DraI and TaqI. A comparison of the Danish populations showed significant differences among their allelic frequencies.
