	abstract = {This  set  of  papers  illustrates  superbly  the  very  rapid developments  indissecting  the  underlying  genetics  behind the  phenotype  we  see.  The  progress  is  not  only  in  gene mapping  itself  but  in  the  development  of  the  powerful analytical  tools,  both  at  the  conceptual  (e.g.  FINDGENE) and  at  the  software  level. The  progress  in  developing  gene  maps  in  livestock  is built  on  the  back  of  the  Human  Genome  programme  with the  rapid  developments  in  laboratory  and  statistical  tech- niques.  The  general  conservation  of  genome  organisation across  widely  divergent  species  is  itself  a  huge  advantage in  constructing  new  maps.  In  this  respect,  the  deer  hybrids are  proving  a  remarkable  raource  and  may  well  prove  to be  an  ideal  ruminant  prototype  map  on  which  to  map  new markers. },
