Figure 6From: Complete association between a retroviral insertion in the tyrosinase gene and the recessive white mutation in chickensExplanation of the RFLP results obtained for the TYR gene in recessive white chickens according to the structure of intron 4. A 2.7 kb Hind III fragment was obtained in the wild type chicken after a single Hind III digestion and hybridization with an exon 5 probe. A 4.1 kb Hind III band and a 1.8 kb Bam HI-Hind III band were obtained after Hind III single digestion and Bam HI-Hind III double digestion in the recessive white mutation.Back to article page
