SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM (SNP) MARKERS ASSOCIATED WITH INTRAMUSCULAR FAT CONTENTS TRAIT IN PIG AND THEIR METHODS FOR EVALUATION

摘要

PURPOSE: A biomarker for diagnosing the content of pork marbling is provided to determine the content of pork marbling. CONSTITUTION: An SNP biomarker for determining the content of pork marbling contains one among sequences of sequence numbers 1-30. A method for selecting the SNP biomarker comprises: a step of determining SNPs relating to pork marbling content; a step of testing correlation with QTL(quantitative trait loci); and a step of analyzing the characteristic with QTL. A breeding pig is selected using the SNP biomarker. A kit for determining breeding pigs contains the SNP biomarker.
