Actually, Bette, I just got a post from a genetic researcher friend to whom 
someone else had forwarded your original post.  He was concerned at the 
misinformation, and said that the horse breeders were trying to GET 
researchers to come up with breed markers, not that the researchers were 
actually saying they could do it.  And he thought the closest work was coming 
out of Kentucky, not out of A&M, for what it's worth, although I gather they 
do a lot of good work there.
