Evidence for Selective Differences between Cells with an Active Horse X Chromosome and Cells with an Active Donkey X Chromosome in the Female Mule

Nature volume 232, pages 349–350 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

THE glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) locus is known to be X-linked in the horse and donkey1,2. The female mule, an interspecific hybrid of these two species, is an obligatory heterozygote for two electrophoretically distinguishable G6PD alleles1,2.
