Not surprisingly, as health care costs continue to increase and the costs of genetic testing decrease, employers may view genetic testing as a cost-saving technique by trying to weed out employees with genetic markers for disease. ABSTRACT We conducted an arbitrary fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis followed by tests of association to search for potential genetic markers associated with resistance to infection by Vibrio vulnificus and Perkinsus marinus in a sample of North Carolina oysters. Some stock released this year will be screened using the genetic markers identified so far. |
