Polymorphism of IGF2 gene and improved livestock characteristics.

摘要

Method for identifying a phenotype in cattle, the method comprising: detecting a polymorphism present in the IGF2 gene at position 150 of SEQ ID NO: 1; and where the presence of a residue C (one C allele) is associated with the phenotype larger REA compared with bovine a T residue (T allele) at position 150 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
