Abstract:
Evidence for genetic linkage between the loci for transferrin (Tf) and ceruloplasmin (Cp) in pigs was presented. The results were based on a study of a single sire family comprising 35 informative offspring. No recombinants were observed. The recombination frequency was estimated to be in the range of 0 to 8%. This indicated that the recombination frequency between Tf and Cp loci in pigs may be much lower than that reported previously between these two loci in cattle and in human.
