Inheritance plays a major role in behavior as shown by selection and strain studies for
animal behavior and by twin and adoption studies for human behavior. Unlike simple …

The genomes of all eukaryotes appear to contain a special class of loci, termed
microsatellites, which can serve, if sequenced and taken as the substrate for the polymerase …

Molecular genetics can be integrated with traditional methods of artificial selection on
phenotypes by applying marker-assisted selection (MAS). We derive selection indices that …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been mapped to small intervals along the chromosomes of
tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), by a method we call substitution mapping. The size of …

We have constructed a genetic map for soybean and identified associations between
genetic markers and quantitative trait loci. One-hundred-fifty restriction fragment length …

Genes controlling the dramatic morphological differences between maize and its presumed
progenitor (teosinte) were investigated in a maize-teosinte F2 population through the use of …

There is considerable interest in bovine DNA-level polymorphic marker loci as a means of
mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) of economic importance in cattle. Progeny of a sire …

High-density restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and allozyme linkage maps
have been developed in several plant species. These maps make it technically feasible to …

A theoretical analysis of the potential benefits of marker-assisted selection (MAS) of
candidate bulls prior to entry into a young sire progeny testing programme was carried out. It …

Hard seededness in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a quantitative trait that affects the
germination rate, viability, and quality of stored seeds. We have used 72 restriction fragment …
