Information  obtained  from  mapping  studies  will  allow  producers  to  select  for  carcass  traits  and other  traits  that  are  difficult  and  expensive  to  measure  in  production  settings.  Mapping  information  will  also  be  used  to  identify  the  molecular  mechanisms controlling  the  genetic  component  of  carcass  traits  and  other  quantitative  traits.},
