Abstract

In the well studied human genome, there is a strong correlation between gene density and chromosomal G+C content. At least 30% of all human genes are contained in the most G+C rich 4% of the genome, few genes are contained in A+T rich DNA. This proposal seeks to produce a panel of polymorphic markers derived from highly G+C rich portions of the pig genome. These markers will originate from gene-dense regions, consequently use of this panel will drastically reduce the number of markers required to map genes and Quantitative Trait Loci.
