Why do we need to conserve what we have? A post-genome sequencing perspective on existing chicken strains.

Abstract excerpt

The recent publication of the chicken genome sequence along with the extensive single nucleotide polymorphism and physical map open exciting avenues for defining gene function and for understanding the genotypic basis of phenotypic variation in the chicken. The number of genes identified on the sequence map is growing rapidly. Genetically uniform lines and crosses derived from them will allow identification of...
