Transferrin polymorphism in Amazon turtle (Podocnemis expansa) stocks [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Genetics, 1996 The transferrin gene locus (Tf) was investigated in five populations of the Amazon turtle (Podocnemis expansa) sampled from five geographical areas in the Amazon region. This locus was polymorphic, showing three genotypes (Tfa Tfa, Tfa Tfb and Tfb Tfb), presumably encoded by two co-dominant alleles, Tfa and Tfb.
