Abstract

The basic tools to scan of livestock genomes to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are now in place and in use. Full exploitation of the tools in research and in commercial application requires developments in a number of areas. This project provides core support onto which will be built projects which will tackle three key areas: 1/ Developing the analytical methods to allow high resolution QTL mapping through exploitation of linkage disequilibrium in outbred populations. 2/ Putting the developed methods into a user-friendly shell, allowing effective exploitation by both researchers and industry. 3/ Applying the developed methodologies to both further our own experimental programme and to refine the approaches and demonstrate their efficiency in action. This work is essential underpinning for the research programmes of the Institute and the BBSRC.
