Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and kits for the identification of animals having a greater potential for desirable characteristics, such as meat quality, rib eye area, weaning weight and 18-month weight, by analysis of specific markers based on DDEF1 gene alleles. The invention also relates to methods and kits for the early identification of fat deposits in bovines.
