Abstract excerpt
Recent technological enhancements in molecular genetics have significantly improved our ability to locate disease genes by linkage analysis. Despite the introduction of molecular methods such as PCR and the discovery of highly polymorphic SSRs, genotyping is still rate-limiting for localizing disease genes by linkage. These methods have been, until recently, highly technical, time-consuming, and expensive. The...
