It is a system that records and manages information for each stage of cattle production, slaughter, processing, and sales, and reassures consumers by promptly identifying the cause and taking measures through tracking or retrospective tracking when problems occur. In order to trace the origin of beef and block the sale of Korean native cattle(Hanwoo), a system that can track and confirm the entire process from production to distribution of Korean native cattle(Hanwoo) is required.
The Korean beef genetic discrimination test is a method to compare and test the genotypes for hair expression expression unique to Korean native cattle(Hanwoo), dairy cows and Angus breeds by confirming the nucleotide sequence mutation of the MC1R gene involved in the hair color of cows. It is a possible genetic test. Genetic identification of Korean beef can be tested with any sample, such as blood, meat, hair root, and saliva, and it is a technology that has already been registered as a patent through exchange with the research team of the Academy of Livestock Science.
KGIC selected DNA markers closely related to ¡°meat quality¡± among economic traits of Korean native cattle(Hanwoo) through joint research with Sangji University¡¯s Department of Animal Biotechnology and Prof. Eui-Ryong, Jung and conducted field application tests for large-scale farm field Korean native cattle(Hanwoo) verification groups After discovering the DNA markers (patent application of the Korean Intellectual Property Office) of six genes whose efficacy was finally proven through the process, the technology was transferred to develop and release the Hanwoo MarbleGene DNA Kit¢â, a DNA kit for diagnosing Korean beef marbling. Hanwoo MarbleGene DNA Kit¢â contains PCR-related reagents and restriction enzymes, so you can predict and diagnose the marbling trait of Korean beef in advance through a simple PCR-RFLP gene analysis test in the laboratory. Product Characteristics and Applications
Meat group, fish group, fish and shellfish group, mollusk group, crustacean group, nut group, other microorganism groups
Species-specific DNA testing is a test method that can identify the gene of a specific species through DNA testing if other foreign substances are in processed products or food. n the case of expensive species, DNA testing by species has a high rate of falsely labeling cheap similar species and selling them as fakes. Therefore, it is necessary to increase customer trust by introducing a quality certification system centered on high-priced agricultural and fishery products and premium restaurants. Species to be tested
DNA barcoding refers to a technology for identifying and confirming biological species by using the DNA base sequence (A, G, C, T) of an organism as a barcode. When this technology is applied, it is not only useful to search for unknown species, but it is also possible to quickly and accurately identify the genetic characteristics of the species using any type of organism, and to construct the DNA base sequence as a DB. In addition, it has the advantage of being able to classify the genetic structure and lineage of the organism by referring to the information on the region where the organism lives, so it is a field currently being studied in various fields around the world. KGIC is to analyze the nucleotide sequence using a universal primer targeting the DNA region of a specific species for the purpose of DNA barcoding and BLAST the result to suggest similarity. It also provides information by searching for species-specific DNA.
