IMPROVED MILK PRODUCTION IN DAIRY CATTLE CONTAINING POLYMORPHISM IN LECTIN LIKE OXIDIZED LDL RECEPTOR (OLRI) GENE

摘要

Nucleic acid molecules comprising a SNP site selected from the groupconsistingof position 1296 of bovine uterine milk protein (UTMP) coding sequence (SEQ IDNO: 1),position 213 of bovine signal transducer and activator of transcription(STAT1) codingsequence (SEQ ID NO: 2), position 8514 of the osteopontin (OPN) gene (SEQ IDNO: 3), orposition 1070 of a bovine lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor (OLR1) codingsequence (SEQID NO: 4), which SNP indicates a desirable milk production trait in a dairycattle. Alsodisclosed are an array or a kit comprising the same, a method for detectingthe SNPs, amethod for progeny testing of cattle, and a method for selectively breeding ofcattle.
