Animal genotyping method

This invention relates to a method for determining whether a bovine animal possesses a gene for beta-casein A2 or the gene for beta-casein A1 in its milk by testing the DNA of the bovine animal for the presence of at least one DNA marker (excluding those DNA markers present in the sequence of the ge...

Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method for determining whether a bovine animal possesses a gene for beta-casein A2 or the gene for beta-casein A1 in its milk by testing the DNA of the bovine animal for the presence of at least one DNA marker (excluding those DNA markers present in the sequence of the genes themselves). In particular, the method uses SNPs as DNA markers for the beta-casein A2 and beta-casein A1 genes.
