VERFAHREN ZUR BESTIMMUNG DES ALLELISCHEN ZUSTANDES AM 5'-ENDE DES ALPHA-S1-KASEINGENS

摘要

The invention refers to a genetic marker at the 5'-flanking region of the alpha-S1 casein gene (CSN1S1) and the casein gene complex as well as a method to classify cattle, independent of age and lactation, through determination of the allelic state within this area as well as the application of this method to select organisms with a preferred allele, for instance in the marker-supported selection.
