摘要：
Disclosed herein are novel alleles characterized by polymorphisms in sulfotransferase genes. The alleles may be used to genetically type animals for sulfotransferase activity. In a preferred embodiment, the alleles may be used as markers for boar taint in pigs. Methods for identifying such markers, and methods of screening animals to determine those more likely to produce desired characteristics and preferably selecting those animals for future breeding purposes are also disclosed.
