DNA MARKER ASSOCIATED WITH SWINE TRAIT 6 AND DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM THEREOF WHICH ARE DEVELOPED BY TRAIT ASSOCIATION ANALYSIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for evaluating meat production traits of swine using a polymorphism on swine genome.SOLUTION: A genome-wide association analysis for a swine genome by SNP is performed and a plurality of SNPs having a statistically significant relation to meat production traits, such as growth (mean increased body weight per day, or the like.), meat quality (intramuscular fat ratio or the like) have been novelly found out. By determining the base type/amino acid type of these SNPs, the meat production traits of the subject swine can be evaluated efficiently.
