	abstract = {The  burgeoning  knowledge  associated with  the gene maps of  humans  and mice  can provide  key  information  for  the  identification  of genes  underlying  production  traits  in  livestock.  In  tbeo~~,  it  should  be  possible  to  tramlate  information  associated  with  a  human chromosomal  location  to  a chromosome  location  in  sheep, cat\&  or  deer.  However,  in  practice,  livestock  gene maps often  require  more comparative  links  to  make  accurate  \&anslation  possible.  We  have  taken  a novel  approach to  livestock  comparative  mapping  by  using an interspecies  hybrid  mapping  panel  to  map  both  gene  loci  and  sheep and  cattle  microsatellites.  The  panel  comprises  DNA  from  346  l/4 Pere  David{\textquoteright}s  deer  (Ekxphurus  dnvidinnuj  3/4  red  deer  (Cervus  elaphur)  backcross  progeny  of  male  FI  P\&e David{\textquoteright}s  deer x red deer hybrids.  We  are  using  this  deer  mapping  resource  to  relate  the sheep,  cattle and human gene maps and by  mapping  key  markers from  each.},
