SEQUENCE, POLYMORPHISMS, AND MARKER TEST TECHNOLOGY FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE AND GROWTH (NFKB1)

摘要

A method for determining improved disease resistance and or growth in animals is disclosed. The method involves assays for a genetic differences in the NFKB1 gene of the animal which is associated with superior disease resistance and improved overall growth traits. Novel NFKB1 sequence, assays, and compositions for identifying the presence of absence of these alleles are provided.
