Dissection of the genetic architecture of body weight in chicken reveals the impact of epistasis on domestication traits.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2008

Le Rouzic Arnaud, Alvarez-Castro José M, Carlborg Orjan

Abstract excerpt

In this contribution, we study the genetic mechanisms leading to differences in the observed growth patterns of domesticated White Leghorn chickens and their wild ancestor the red jungle fowl. An epistatic QTL analysis for several body-weight measures from hatch to adulthood confirms earlier findings that polymorphisms at >15 loci contribute to body-weight determination in an F(2) intercross between these...
