Background: The identification of the loci and specific alleles underlying variation in quantitative traits is an important goal for evolutionary biologists and breeders. Despite major advancements in genomics technology, moving from QTL to causal alleles remains a major challenge in genetics research. Near-isogenic lines are the ideal raw material for...
This report summarizes program progress in FY 1973. Activities were directed entirely at completing the second phase of the work started in 1971, i.e., to complete the resource survey of the continental shelf off Oregon between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco. Objectives of the survey were to obtain estimates...
