[QUOTE="Herefords.US, post: 704094, member: 3972"] No doubt the single marker tests like homo polled, homo black, and the tests for these genetic disorders, like IE, that are affected by single recessives are accurate. But reading this article leads me to believe that there's still a LOT of research left to do before the DNA tests on traits that are affected by multiple "markers" will become reliable and accurate. I still believe that DNA testing will eventually greatly enhance the accuracy of or replace EPDs as selection criteria. George [/QUOTE]
