A strategy to identify positional candidate genes conferring Marek’s disease resistance by integrating DNA microarrays and genetic mapping
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) to enhance genetic resistance to Marek's disease (MD), a herpesvirus-induced T cell cancer in chicken, is an attractive alternative to augment control with vaccines. Our earlier studies indicate that there are many quantitative trait loci (QTL) containing one or more genes that confer genetic resistance to MD. Unfortunately, it is difficult to sufficiently resolve these QTL to...
