“…One of the disadvantages of the microsatellites is that as they are anonymous DNA fragments, they can only amplify DNA of the most approximate species. PCR primers developed for one species can sometimes function in related species (Montgomery, 2000).…”

“…Under these circumstances association analysis or linkage analysis is adequate to determine if the candidate genes are QTL. Perhaps the best known example of a QTL that was identified by a candidate gene approach is the porcine oestrogen receptor, which is associated with variation in letter size (Montgomery, 2000). Methods based on candidate genes are not appropriate for poorly understood traits.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
