    • Detection of hybrids between wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa) and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa f. domestica) in Greece, using the PCR-RFLP method on melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) mutations 

      Koutsogiannouli, E. A.; Moutou, K. A.; Sarafidou, T.; Stamatis, C.; Mamuris, Z. (2010)
      The melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) regulates melanogenesis in mammals within the mammalian melanocyte and the hair follicle. Common variations (polymorph isms) in the MC1R gene are associated with normal differences in ...
