ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of screening pigs to identify those which have a genetic predisposition to have a thinner or thicker backfat thickness by assaying the pattern of the five single nucleotide polymorphisms in the HSP70.2 gene that is associated with backfat thickness.
