A EVALUATING METHOD OF PIG FLESHINESS BY THE MEASUREMENT OF EXPRESSION LEVEL OF COLLAGEN TYPE I ALPHA;-1 GENE DERIVED FROM SANCHEONG BERKSHIRE

摘要

A method for evaluating the quality of meat of a pig is provided to evaluate the pig meat quality conveniently and accurately by measuring an expression level of a novel collagen type I alpha-1 gene derived from Sancheong berkshire. To evaluate the quality of meat of a pig, an expression level of a collagen type I alpha-1 gene derived from Sancheong berkshire and consisting of SEQ ID : NO. 1 is measured quantitatively through RT-PCR using an oligonucleotide consisting of SEQ ID : NOs. 3 and 4 as a primer or through northern blotting using a probe consisting of SEQ ID : NO. 1.
