Title: Quantitative Trait Locus(QTL) and Animal Breeding
Abstract: With the fast development of modern molecular biology ,the study on genetic maps of animals is developed further by the application of some effective genetic markers, which provides a method to analize the speciality of every single gene, make it possible to locate the specific gene after separating the complicated quantitative traits into many simple QTL,and lay foundation for animal breeding reseach from phenotype to genotype. This article discusses the theory on QTL, the construction of genetic map, QTL mapping and the relationship between QTL and animal breeding.
