Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9735878A2] The present invention provides a novel sequence of the pig H-FABP gene, as well as methods of using said gene and its products. Especially the invention provides methods for detecting different alleles of the pig H-FABP gene, which different alleles are associated with differences in the genotypic and/or phenotypic traits of the pigs having those alleles. Especially the invention provides methods for distinguishing between alleles resulting in different phenotypes, particularly using techniques involving selective amplification of pig H-FABP gene derived materials. These techniques are especially suitable for selecting animals to be used in breeding programmes. Breeding programmes employing such techniques are also disclosed.
