PURPOSE: A DNA fragment marker for identifying increase of a myosin heavy chain slow isoform and improvement of meat quality of a pig is provided to early select, breed, and produce an individual with improved meat quality. CONSTITUTION: A DNA fragment marker for identifying increase of a myosin heavy chain slow isoform and improvement of meat quality contains 15-1000 continuous sequences including 535th base, T, in a base sequence of sequence number 1. The DNA fragment marker for identifying increase of a myosin heavy chain slow isoform and improvement of meat quality contains 15-1000 continuous sequences including 136th base, C, in a base sequence of sequence number 4. A primer set for detecting SNP of pig MYH2 gene related to the increase of a myosin heavy chain slow isoform and improvement of meat quality has an oligonucleotide of sequence number 2 and 3. The primer set also has an oligonucleotide of sequence number 5 and 6. |
