Abstract excerpt
A method to detect linkage of genetic traits to polymorphic DNA markers in outbred populations when pedigree analysis is not feasible is presented. The procedure takes advantage of increased linkage disequilibrium that occurs when isolated races or subspecies mate and interbreed. By selecting restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) or microsatellite marker loci that have different allele frequencies in...
