Livestock genome maps.
Nascent genetic linkage maps of major livestock species provide an initial framework for the construction of comprehensive maps and the implementation of marker-assisted selection. Application of marker-assisted selection to major livestock species should improve overall selection across extant populations and identify loci that could be of benefit if incorporated into other livestock breeds by introgression.
