Abstract

A physical cloned based map of the pig genome will provide a launch pad for finding genes of economic importance and for developing molecular tools for marker assisted selection. Large fragment genomic clones in a BAC library will be characterised by DNA fingerprinting. From analysis of DNA fingerprints from ca. 100,000 independent clones the overlap between different clones can be established. From these overlapping relationships contig maps of the genome can be deduced. Genetic markers developed from, or mapped to the clones provide a link to quantitative trait loci (OTL) mapped in experimental and commercial populations. Thus, clones that can be assigned to OTL can be exploited in the search for the genetic lesions underlvina OTL and for the develocment of more effective aenetic markers for marker assisted selection
