Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with unsaturated fatty acid in pig and their methods for evaluation

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for providing information for determining porcine unsaturated fatty acid content is provided to simply determine marbling score, oleic acid or linoleic acid content of pork and to early select and improve pigs of high quality. CONSTITUTION: A method for providing information for determining porcine unsaturated fatty acid content comprises: a step of isolating DNA from a pig; and a step of amplifying DNA using a prime pair for amplifying an amino acid sequence selected from sequence numbers 1-27 and 29-42 having an SNP selected among AC, AG, TC and TG in 61th base. The unsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid or linoleic acid. A method for providing information for determining pork of high quality comprises a step of isolating DNA from a pig and a step of amplifying DNA using the prime pair.
