Abstract excerpt
The pioneering work by Professor Soller et al., among others, on the use of genetic markers to analyze quantitative traits has provided opportunities to discover their genetic architecture in livestock by identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL). The recent availability of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels has advanced such studies by capitalizing on population-wide linkage disequilibrium...
