Abstract
Evidence was provided for a new erythrocyte ADA allele (Aw) in the Swedish Landrace breed of pigs. The enzyme activity of Aw variant was considerably less than that of the previously reported erythrocyte ADA variants A and B. The mobility of the Aw variant was identical to that of the A variant, both by electrophoresis and by isoelectric focusing. The in vitro heat stability (at 56 degrees C) of the Aw variant was similar to that of A and B variants. The leucocyte ADA activity was normal in pigs with the erythrocyte ADA Aw variant. The frequencies of the erythrocyte ADA alleles, A, B, Aw, and O (silent allele) in four breeds of pigs in Sweden were: Landrace--0.51, 0.19, 0.11, 0.19; Large White--0.91, 0.03, 0.0, 0.06; Duroc--0.95, 0.05, 0.0, 0.0; Hampshire--0.12, 0.14, 0.0, 0.74.

Abstract
To identify genes with effects on meat quality and production traits we developed an adult porcine skeletal muscle cDNA library. After pre-screening this library with seven genes highly expressed in skeletal muscle, 385 non-hybridizing clones were sequenced from both ends to yield 510 expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Together with those ESTs previously generated from this library, we have produced 701 porcine skeletal muscle ESTs. These ESTs were grouped into 306 different cDNA species and compared with the human skeletal muscle transcriptional profiles obtained from different databases. Furthermore we mapped 107 of these cDNAs using a somatic cell hybrid panel with genes mapping over all the autosomes (except on chromosome 11) and on chromosome X. The mapping of these cDNAs contributed to the construction of a first genomic transcript map of the skeletal muscle tissue in pig.

Abstract
Chromosomal assignments are reported for fourteen porcine expressed sequence tags (ESTs)--CALM1, CRYAB, MYH7, MYL1, PDK4, PGAM2, PYGM, REV3L, RFC1, SLN, SPTBN1, SRM160, TPM1 and YWHAG. The ESTs were derived from our porcine skeletal muscle cDNA library. The ESTs sequences selected for mapping included the presence of the 3'-untranslated region. The assignments were performed using two independent somatic cell hybrid panels providing the possibility of confirmation of the results obtained. The observed localizations are compared with the locations predicted from heterologous (human-pig, pig-human) chromosome painting data and knowledge of the map locations of the human homologues. These results add new information to the porcine genome transcript map.

Abstract
Porcine skeletal muscle genes play a major role in determining muscle growth and meat quality. Therefore, to progress towards a better understanding of the genetic factors influencing these traits, the first step is to characterize the genes expressed in skeletal muscle tissue in pig. To this aim, we constructed a porcine biceps femoris muscle cDNA library and sequenced 111 randomly isolated clones. By FASTA analysis, we identified 72 unique clones: 47 showed homology to previously identified genes in human or other mammals, 20 matched uncharacterized expressed sequence tags (ESTs), two showed no significant matches to sequences already present in DNA databases, and three other clones containing only repetitive elements were excluded from further analysis. Mitochondrial genes (16.2%), myosin heavy chain genes (9%) and the actin alpha skeletal muscle gene (9%) were the most abundant transcripts. Among the 47 identified genes several muscle-specific or predominant sequences expressed in skeletal muscle were found. The sequences of the clones matching uncharacterized human, mouse or porcine ESTs were tested by GRAIL in order to identify putative coding regions. The results of our analysis allowed the establishment of a first list of genes expressed in porcine skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The present paper describes the isolation and linkage mapping of two isoforms of skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain in pig. Two partial cDNAs (pAZMY4 and pAZMY7), coding for the porcine myosin heavy chain-2B and -beta respectively, have been isolated from a pig skeletal muscle cDNA library. Four RFLPs were detected with the putative porcine skeletal myosin heavy chain-2B probe (pAZMY4) and one RFLP was identified with the putative myosin heavy chain-beta probe (pAZMY7). Two myosin heavy chain loci were mapped by linkage analysis performed with the five RFLPs against the PiGMaP linkage consortium ResPig database: the MYH1 locus, which identifies the fast skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain gene cluster, was located at the end of the map of porcine chromosome 12, while the MYH7 locus, which identifies the myosin heavy chain-alpha/-beta gene cluster, was assigned to the long arm of porcine chromosome 7.
