trait of interest

I think "trait" is used in this context, e.g. many Google hits for "genetic traits"

in the sentence: trait or gene of interest
Peer comment(s):

agree Olga Gladkova : "Trait" and "feature" seem to be interchangeable and are often used together. "Of interest," on the other hand, can be replaced with "particular" but is more frequent than the latter.

relevant trait

The variation in the extent to which markers are applicable with different breeding populations. While a marker for a particular trait may be very useful to one breeder, it may have no value to another breeder who is using a different breeding population with different genetic variability for the relevant trait.
