DNA Marker Mining of BMS1167 Microsatellite Locus in Hanwoo Chromosome 17

We describe tests for detecting and locating quantitative traits loci (QTL) for traits in Hanwoo. Lod scores and a permutation test have been described. From results of a permutation test to detect QTL, we select major DNA markers of BMS1167 microsatellite locus in Hanwoo chromosome 17 for further analysis. K-means clustering analysis applied to four traits and eight DNA markers in BMS1167 resulted in three cluster groups. We conclude that the major DNA markers of BMS1167 microsatellite locus in Hanwoo chromosome 17 are markers 100bp, 108bp and 110bp.
