WEEK-12-Biochemical and Molecular Markers
Markers are necessary to study genomes, conduct gene-linkage mapping, locate genes on chromosomes, isolate genes, determine gene expression, study the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of performance, conduct population-genetics analysis and apply MAS. Knowledge of gene locations can be utilized along with physical mapping to clone useful genes by positional cloning.
