Abstract excerpt
Domestic animals have a sufficiently old history (thousands of generations) to allow evolution of phenotypes, but also a sufficiently young history (approximately 10,000 years) to allow powerful genetic dissection of phenotypic diversity. Domestic animals are therefore a unique resource for exploring genotype-phenotype relationships. Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) mapping has been very successful in domestic...
