Horses for courses: a DNA-based test for race distance aptitude in thoroughbred racehorses.

Recent patents on DNA & gene sequences - 1 Dec 2012

Hill Emmeline W, Ryan Donal P, MacHugh David E

Abstract excerpt

Variation at the myostatin (MSTN) gene locus has been shown to influence racing phenotypes in Thoroughbred horses, and in particular, early skeletal muscle development and the aptitude for racing at short distances. Specifically, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the first intron of MSTN (g.66493737C/T) is highly predictive of best race distance among Flat racing Thoroughbreds: homozygous C/C horses are...
