Abstract

All bovine chromosomes are now represented by a syntenic group, a linkage map and at least one in situ hybridization. Almost 1000 loci are mapped, about 300 of which are coding sequences useful for comparative mapping and evolutionary inference. Economically important loci are beginning to appear on bovine linkage maps and enhanced comparative maps are likely to be necessary to identify many of these genes by a comparative positional candidate gene approach.

      It is expected that the human-mouse comparative map will enable the use of the mouse genome to identify candidate genes with analogous functions and unravel their genetic networks and how these are influenced by infectious diseases, toxins or environmental factors (Serikawa et al., 1992a,b). Comparative mapping in agriculture mammals (bovine) was already performed in 1995 by Womack and Kata (Womack and Kata, 1995). Womack and colleagues (cited as “comparative candidate positional cloning”) described the enhancement of genetic identification of phenotypes of agricultural relevance (economic trait loci: ETL).
