| | Mammalian Genotyping Service - sponsored by The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute |
 | | Human linkage maps were then developed under this contract by Karl Broman and screening sets created, which have been used by hundreds of investigators around the world to map genes responsible for disease as well as for seminal population studies (Rosenberg). |
 | | Over the years, this service has facilitated the identification of hundreds of genes including the gene and linkage regions for cystic fibrosis, the Framingham Heart Study and the Jackson Heart Study, as well as many other heart, lung, blood, sleep related disorders. |
 | | Through the development and refinement of the MGS, we have genotyped many population and reference samples, identified and confirmed many polymorphic markers, and have maintained the Marshfield linkage maps. |
