Animal models of traits related to human alcohol use disorders can provide pertinent information about the human condition.

These estimates, combined with estimates of the additive and dominant components of the variance, will help in answering where the missing heritability is, in searching for causal loci, in building prediction models, and in testing evolutionary models of traits.

An important advance is that we now have empirical genetic models of trait genetic architecture obtained from mapping studies (multi-QTL models including various genetic effects that may vary in relation to environmental factors) to ground theoretical investigations on the merits of alternative breeding strategies.
