DNA MARKERS FOR DETECTING INCREASE OF PORCINE MUSCLE FIBER TYPE I AND MEAT QUALITY CONTAINING SNP IN 3' UTR OF PPARGC1A GENE

摘要

PURPOSE: A DNA marker for detecting pork meat quality containing SNP of a PPARGC1A gene 3'-UTR region is provided to improve pork meat quality. CONSTITUTION: A DNA marker for detecting pork meat quality contains continuous 15-800 sequences with 2782th base, C, in sequence number 1. The marker enhances muscle type I in pork muscle fibers and enhances pH concentration which is a character relating to meat quality. A primer for detecting SNP relating to meat quality in a 3'UTR region of pork PPARGC1A gene has an oligonucleotide of sequence numbers 2 and 3. A kit for SNP analysis contains a probe for complementarily binding the DNA marker.
