NOVEL SNP MARKER FOR DISCRIMINATING LEVEL OF LOINMUSCLE AREA OF PIG AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to an SNP marker for discriminating the level of loin muscle area of a pig, a composition containing an agent capable of detecting or amplifying the SNP maker for discriminating the level of the loin muscle area of a pig, a kit or microarray comprising the composition for discriminating the level of the loin muscle area of a pig, and a method for discriminating the level of the loin muscle area of a pig, comprising a step of determining a polymorphic site of the SNP marker. The SNP marker of the present invention is a specific SNP marker for discriminating the level of the loin muscle area of a pig, and is used as a means for objectively evaluating the level of the loin muscle area of a pig, which is not distinguished by the naked eye, and thus can contribute to the establishment of the distribution of pig meat.
