A number of recent advances in genomic research will change and improve livestock production in the near future. Genetic linkage maps have been developed for a number of livestock species including cattle, sheep, and pigs. These maps allow scientists to identify chromosomal regions that influence traits of economic importance. This information will lead to improved genetic selection practices by identifying animals with superior copies of the chromosomal regions that affect the selected trait. This mapping information will also be used to identify the genes controlling the trait. A number of genomic regions or loci have already been reported that affect production, carcass or disease traits, and in a few cases, a specific gene has been identified. Production of transgenic animals with sequence changes in these genes may be beneficial for evaluating the effect of the gene upon the selected trait and more specifically the effect of certain polymorphisms (mutations) within the gene.
