Back in the early decades of genetics, it became clear that genetic markers may be useful in
the analysis of complex traits. However, their low occurrence and a number of other
disadvantages prevented the wide application of classical genetic markers, and later protein
markers, in breeding. The latest generation of genetic markers (molecular or DNA markers)
are characterized by frequent occurrence in the genome, and it is based on universal (and
hence highly demanded and constantly developing) methods of analysis. This became the …
