Abstract excerpt
The first attempts of applying marker-assisted selection (MAS) in animal breeding were not very successful because the identification of markers closely linked to QTL using low-density microsatellite panels was difficult. More recently, the use of high-density SNP panels in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have increased the power and precision of identifying markers linked to QTL, which offer new...
