Abstract excerpt
1. The growth hormone receptor (GHR) plays crucial roles on chicken growth and metabolism. 2. The full cDNA of the chicken GHR gene was scanned for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) by means of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). Three SNP, C6540334T, C6542011T and G6631778A, were genotyped in a F(2) designed full-sib resource population to analyse their associations with chicken growth...
