	abstract = {In  the  last  7 years  a large  scale  world-wide  effort  has  produced  genetic  linkage  maps of most important  livestock  species.  As a result  of this we now have  the  tools  to follow  the  inheritance  of  every  piece  of every  chromosome  in any  pedigree,  breed  or  selection  line  CIOSS.  In  addition  the  methods  that  enable  us  to  analyse  the  genes  and  DNA  contained  within  the  chromosomes  have  undergone  many  incremental  improvements  so  that  it  is  now  a  realistic  research  goal to find and characterise  the genes responsible  for  multigenic  or  quantitative  traits  in  livestock  species.},
