Abstract
This review was conducted to evaluate the role of molecular genetics in animal performance improvement. Molecular genetics is the field of biology and genetics that studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level. There are opportunities for using molecular genetics to identify genes that are involved in variety of traits. Revolutionary opportunities for the modification of animal performance are being created by the development of new methods for embryo manipulation and the application of molecular biology.
