Abstract excerpt
A unique outbred by inbred F1 resource population was established. The population structure facilitated the unique opportunity of examining gene by genetic background interaction through crossing two modern broiler sires with dams from two unrelated inbred lines, with no selection for growth rate, to produce about 600 F1 chicks. Pools of DNA were generated from the phenotypic extremes (20% high and low) for...
