title: Molecular genome analysis in livestock at the beginning of the new millennium.
abstract: Prerequisites, current status, further challenges and limitations in the application of molecular approaches for genome analysis in livestock are reviewed. Aspects of the utilization of mapped 'quantitative trait loci' (QTL) in breeding programmes and of the final identification cloning of the corresponding candidate genes are discussed.
