The invention relates to an application of a linkage SNP marker related to horse
chest circumference characters. The application specifically comprises the following applications: (1) identifying or assisting in identifying the horse
chest circumference characters; (2) preparing a product for identifying or assisting in identifying the
chest circumference character of the horse; (3) breeding horses with large chest circumference; (4) preparing and breeding products of horses with large chest circumference; the linkage
SNP markers comprise an SNP1, an SNP2 and an SNP3; the
allele of the SNP1 is C or G at the 26th bp, the 679th bp and the 922th bp of the No.13
chromosome DNA of a horse
genome, and the rs ID is rs396976187; the
allele of the SNP2 is A or G at the 26th bp, the 680th bp and the 067th bp of the
DNA of the 13th
chromosome of the horse
genome, and the rs ID is rs395890483; the SNP3 is located at 26th bp, 680th bp and 139th bp of
DNA of a No.13
chromosome of a horse
genome, an
allele of the SNP3 is C or G, and rs ID is rs394326854. By detecting the genotypes of the three
SNP markers, the breeding of a racing horse or a racing horse breeding horse can be assisted, and a target
genotype individual is directionally selected and reserved at a
foal stage and is used as a
backup racing horse or a racing horse breeding horse for culture.
