Abstract
Genomic research and the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) provide tools to enhance genetic progress and improve understanding of the biology of commercially important traits. The large sire reference schemes in UK terminal sire sheep breeds provide a unique opportunity to investigate QTL segregation within commercial populations. This study aims to identify QTL for performance traits in commercial Suffolk and Texel sheep.
