The present invention relates to a composition for predicting the meat quality of hanwoo (Korean beef) and a method for predicting the meat quality of hanwoo using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for predicting the meat quality of hanwoo using a composition including a DNA marker that is selected from calpain/calpastatin genes and has a statistical relationship with the year, juiciness, and flavor which are target traits for the meat quality of hanwoo. By the single nucleotide polymorphism of the calpain/calpastatin genes according to the present invention, the year, juiciness, and flavor which are target traits related to the meat quality of hanwoo can be analyzed in terms of molecular biology. Also, provided are objective gene information about customer preferences and a profile about genes and proteins related to the meat quality of hanwoo so as to be usefully used as a selected gene marker for improving the meat quality of hanwoo. |
