Abstract
Genome research provides one of the exciting new frontiers in the life sciences. It should not be surprising that the agricultural sciences, long concerned with genetic improvement, are beginning to invest in building maps and localizing important traits to chromosomal regions. The following is a brief overview of the progress and problems of genome analysis in farm animals.
