Abstract excerpt
A genome scan was used to detect chromosomal regions and QTL that control quantitative traits of economic importance in chickens. Two unique F(2) crosses generated from a commercial broiler male line and 2 genetically distinct inbred lines (Leghorn and Fayoumi) were used to identify QTL affecting BW and daily average gain traits in chickens. Body weight at 2, 4, 6, and 8 wk was measured in the 2 F(2) crosses....
