Patent

CA 2554431

Disclosed herein are novel alleles characterized by polymorphisms in sulfotransferase genes. The alleles may be used to genetically type animals for sulfotransferase activity. In a preferred embodiment, the alleles may be used as markers for boar taint in pigs. Methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce desired characteristics and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding purposes are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne de nouveaux allèles caractérisés par des polymorphismes dans des gènes de sulfotransférase. Ces allèles peuvent être utilisés pour typer génétiquement des animaux pour une activité de sulfotransférase. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les allèles peuvent être utilisés en tant que marqueurs pour des odeurs sexuelles de verrats. L'invention concerne des méthodes pour identifier de tels marqueurs, et des méthodes pour cribler des animaux afin de déterminer ceux qui sont susceptibles de produire des caractéristiques voulues et de sélectionner de préférence ces animaux à des fins de reproduction.
