abstract |
Aspects of the present invention also provide novel compositions and methods based on novel CRH single nucleotide polymorphisms selected from the group consisting of AAFC03076794.1 :g.9657C>Τ, c. 10718G>C, c.10841G>A, c. 10893A>C and c. 10936G>C, which may provide novel markers for marbling and/or subcutaneous fat depth. Additional aspects provide for novel methods which may comprise marker-assisted selection or marker- assisted management to improve marbling and/or subcutaneous fat depth in cattle. |
