The present application belongs to the field of molecular biological technology and
molecular marker technology, and relates to a SNP
molecular marker related to pork
yield efficiency of pigs and application thereof, which is from the 93707553th site of
chromosome 15 of pigs.
Large white pigs and long white pigs are selected as test materials, whole
genome DNA is extracted from blood of the pigs, and primers are designed according to the pig
genome sequence (NC_010457.5) published by NCBI
database. There is a base substitution of A or G at the 306th site, resulting in polymorphism. The SNP site is typed, and
correlation analysis shows that, compared with other
gene individuals, the AA
genotype individuals have the traits of thin backfat
in vivo, large
eye muscle area and the like. The present application provides a new marker for pig
molecular marker assisted selection, and the marker is applied to genetic improvement of pork
yield efficiency of pigs, so that the breeding improvement process of high-quality pigs is accelerated.
