The main application of genomic markers is the mapping, diagnosis,
understanding, manipulation and eventual molecular cloning of loci
of medical, biologic or economic interest. These achievements are
likely to have a practical impact not only in basic science, e.g.
in the elucidation of the basic processes involved in a particular
pathway or in retracing the history of plant speciation, but also
in breeding practice. In agriculture this translates into the
exploitation of this knowledge for further genetic improvement
since traits of agronomic interest are often polygenic. The
elucidation of the genetic basis of polygenic inheritance and the
subsequent efficient utilization of this knowledge in breeding
schemes require the availability of an adequate network of genetic
markers spanning the entire genome. The purpose of the present
manual is to provide new investigators in this area with an
introduction and a basic practical state-of-the-art description of
how to proceed.
