Abstract
Genetic maps based on DNA-level markers open the way for comprehensive mapping of quantitative trait loci in livestock. Marker-associated quantitative effects have been detected in a number of experiments and1 improved statistical designs and analyses are available. Marker-assisted-selection can contribute to within population improvement and to exploitation of between population genetic variation. Extensive synteny of livestock, mouse and human chromosomes will enable a flow of information between the human, mouse and livestock gene-mapping programs. "Microsatellites", a new class of DNA-level polymorphism, may well be the marker of choice for developing saturated gene maps of livestock species.
