High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis was applied to haplotype the Met55Val–Lys62Ala mutations of the Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) Hb-β1 gene responsible for the important hemoglobin polymorphisms. The Val55–Ala62 haplotype predominated in cod populations throughout the Northwest Atlantic Ocean an...
