Marker assisted breeding
Marker-assisted breeding is a pedigree method that uses DNA markers associated with preferred traits to select a plant or animal used for breeding. This breeding approach speeds up the time, by decreasing the number of generations required, to incorportate the desired trait in the population. Marker-assisted breeding can be used as an alternative to a genetically modified organism (GMO).

It is increasingly recognized that the genetic background (i.e., all genomic sequences other than the gene(s) of interest) can have profound influences on the phenotype of an animal model. I...
