  • Genetic markers for screening animals for improved disease resistance (NRAMP)
    Patent number: 6844159
    Abstract: A method for determining improved innate immunity, disease resistance or performance in animals is disclosed. The method involves assays for a genetic differences in the NRAMP1 gene of the animal which is associated with superior disease resistance. Novel NRAMP1 sequence, assays, and compositions for identifying the presence of absence of these alleles are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 18, 2005
    Assignees: Iowa State University Research Foundation, Inc., Pig Inprovement Company UK Limited, The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture
    Inventors: Christopher K. Tuggle, Lena Marklund, Thomas J. Stabel, Martha A. Mellencamp, Amber Stumbaugh
