Genetic marker for diagnosis of muscle fiber type within porcine muscle and diagnosis method using the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a genetic marker for diagnosing porcine muscle fiber form and a diagnostic method therefor. More specifically, the present invention provides a gene marker for diagnosing myofibers, one of the meat quality traits of pigs, using SNPs present on the 5 'regulatory region of MYH4 (Myosin heavy chain 4) gene, The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing myofibroblast type by using the present invention. Using the genetic markers for the diagnosis of porcine myofiber according to the present invention, it is possible to analyze at the molecular level the myofiber form, one of the meat quality traits of pigs, as a molecular marker capable of diagnosing the shape of muscle fibers of pigs It can be used to improve the meat quality of pork by diagnosing the shape of muscle fiber which is closely related with the selection of breed and the meat quality of pork.
