Aspects of the present invention also provide methods based on novel UCN3 nucleotide polymorphisms selected from the group consisting of AAFC03043460.1 :g.8272- 8281AATAATAAAT>GGAGC, g.8208OT, g.8265OT, g.8287T>C, g.8412A>G, g.8426T>A, C.8786OT, g.9074T>C, C.12609OT, c.l2621T>C, c.l2667T>G and C.12669C>A, which may provide novel markers for marbling and/or subcutaneous fat. 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. |
