Patent

CA 2637039

Genetic markers are disclosed with a useful association with boar taint that can be used for screening and selection of pigs for those with more favorable boar taint characteristics associated with androstenone/skatole metabolism. Specific polymorphic alleles of the 3aHSD, 3~HSD, CYP17A1, CYP2A, CYP2E1, CYTB5, BAC-CT and/or SULT1A1 genes are disclosed for tests to screen pigs to determine those more likely to produce desired boar taint traits.

L~invention concerne des marqueurs génétiques présentant une combinaison utile avec des éléments responsables de l~odeur sexuelle du verrat pouvant être utilisée pour cribler et sélectionner les porcs présentant des caractéristiques d~odeur sexuelle du verrat plus favorables associées au métabolisme de l~androsténone/scatole. L~invention concerne également des allèles polymorphiques spécifiques des gènes 3aHSD, 3ßHSD, CYP17A1, CYP2A, CYP2E1, CYTB5, BAC-CT et/ou SULT1A1 dans le cadre de tests visant à cribler des porcs en vue de déterminer lesquels sont les plus susceptibles de produire les caractéristiques d~odeur sexuelle du verrat souhaités.
