Marker-assisted assessment of genotype by environment interaction: a case study of single nucleotide polymorphism-mortality association in broilers in two hygiene environments.

Abstract excerpt

Interplay between genetic and environmental factors, genotype x environment interactions (G x E), affect phenotypes of complex traits. A methodology for assessing G x E was investigated by detecting hygiene (low and high) environment-specific SNP subsets associated with broiler chicken mortality, followed by an examination of consistency between SNP subsets selected from the 2 environments. The trait was mean...
