Disclosed herein are novel alleles characterized by polymorphisms in the CAST gene. The alleles may be used to genetically type animals. In a preferred embodiment, the alleles may be used as markers for animal meat quality and/or growth. Methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce desired meat quality and/or growth and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding pursposes are also disclosed.

Cette invention concerne des allèles caractérisés par des polymorphismes dans le gène CAST. Ces allèles peuvent servir à caractériser génétiquement des animaux. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les allèles peuvent être utilisés comme marqueurs pour la qualité de la viande animale et/ou la croissance d'animaux. Sont également décrits des procédés d'identification de marqueurs ainsi que des procédés de criblage d'animaux propres à déterminer ceux d'entre eux qui sont susceptibles d'offrir la qualité de viande et /ou la croissance recherchées, et de préférence à sélectionner certains animaux aux fins de reproduction future.
