A method for assessing the tenderness of meat from an animal, comprising the step of testing the animal for the presence or absence of a genetic marker selected from the group consisting of: (1) an allele of the gene encoding calpastatin (CAST) associated with peak-force variation or genetic variation located other than in the CAST gene which shows allelic association with the CAST allele; and (2) an allele of the gene encoding lysyl oxidase (LOX) associated with intron compression of the semitendinous muscle or genetic variation located other than in the LOX gene which shows allelic association with the LOX allele.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de vérifier la tendreté de la viande provenant d'un animal. A cet effet, on recherche chez l'animal la présence ou l'absence d'un marqueur génétique choisi dans le groupe réunissant d'une part (1) un allèle du gène codant la calpastatine (CAST) associée à une variation de la résistance à la pénétration d'une pointe ou à une variation génétique située ailleurs que dans le gène CAST présentant une association allélique avec l'allèle CAST, et d'autre part (2) un allèle du gène codant la lysyl-oxydase (LOX) associée à une compression d'intron de muscle semi-tendineux ou une variation génétique située ailleurs que dans le gène LOX présentant une association allélique avec l'allèle LOX.
