Genotype at the PMEL17 locus affects social and explorative behaviour in chickens.

British poultry science - 1 Apr 2010

Karlsson A-C, Kerje S, Andersson L, Jensen P

Abstract excerpt

1. We studied behaviour and brain gene expression in homozygous PMEL17 genotypes, using chickens originating from an advanced White Leghorn x red junglefowl intercross. The behavioural studies consisted of three social and one explorative behaviour test. There were significant differences between...
