<p>The present invention provides a novel sequence of the pig myogenin gene, as well as methods of using said gene and its products. Especially the invention provides methods for detecting different alleles of the pig myogenin gene, which different alleles are associated with differences in the genotypic and/or phenotypic traits of the pigs having those alleles. Especially the invention provides methods for distinguishing between alleles resulting in different phenotypes, particularly using techniques involving selective amplification of pig myogenin gene derived materials. These techniques are especially suitable for selecting animals to be used in breeding programmes. Breeding programmes employing such techniques are also disclosed.</p> |
