Abstract excerpt
A precise knowledge of the genome involved in the expression of a quantitative trait could provide a useful tool in breeding programs; molecular genetic methods are capable of yielding this kind of information. An experimental procedure is presented here for identifying genes whose expression is related to weight variability of abdominal adipose tissue in the growing chicken. Quantitative traits are the result of...
