Book cover Genome Mapping and Genomics in Domestic Animals

Part of the book series: Genome Mapping and Genomics in Animals ((MAPPANIMAL,volume 3))

Deer are ruminants that exist in a wide variety of habitats across the globe, and are considerably diverse in their morphology. Most living deer species have been assigned to the Cervidae family, including at least 40 species of deer, and an additional five species have been assigned to the Moschidae family. Many of the cervid species now have molecular genetic markers that are available for various genetic analyses, primarily as descriptors of genetic variability for the inference of population genetic parameters, with application to conservation and game management. The most advanced linkage map for cervids was created using a Pere David’s deer red deer hybrid mapping resource population. Development of additional genomic resources, such as high-density linkage maps and large-insert libraries, could provide value to studies of economically important traits in farmed captive populations of deer. In the absence of genomic resources specific to cervid species, studies have progressed using sequence data from other ruminants, especially cattle and sheep.
