  • HMGA alleles and use of the same as genetic markers for growth, fatness, meat quality, and feed efficiency traits
    Patent number: 7244564
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are genetic markers for animal growth, fatness, meat quality, and feed efficiency, methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce desired growth, fatness, meat quality, and feed efficiency and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding purposes. The markers are based upon the presence or absence of certain polymorphisms in an HMGA nucleotide sequence.
