A WHOLE-GENOME RADIATION HYBRID MAP OF THE DOG GENOME AND USE THEREOF FOR IDENTIFYING GENES OF INTEREST

摘要

The present invention concerns a map of the dog genome comprising the chromosome location of purified or isolated gene markers, TOASTs, and polymorphic microsatellite markers of said genome. Another aspect is the use of said map for identifying genes responsible for a phenotypic and behavioral trait of interest, for the identification of morbid genes, for analyzing diseases, for identifying the implicated genes of said diseases and their alleles, and for studying dog pedigrees.
