Hitting the jackpot twice: identifying and patenting gene tests related to muscle lipid accumulation for meat quality in animals and type 2 diabetes/obesity in humans.

Abstract excerpt

Marbling and intramuscular fat (IMF) content are commonly used to describe or measure intramuscular fat deposition in meat, which contributes to taste, texture and flavor. Four types of genetic markers, i.e., microsatellite, random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD), amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been used in genome scans or association studies...
