Abstract excerpt
Thirty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and one 6-bp insertion-deletion (indel) from 8 genes of somatotropic axis were used to study the association with chicken fatness and muscle fibers. The allele frequency difference between Xinghua and White Plymouth Rock chickens was observed, and their effects on fatness and muscle fiber traits were also evaluated by linkage analyses. The G143831A (G+1705A) SNP of the...
