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 the genotypes in both social and explorative behaviour. 2. Gene expression studies showed no PMEL17 expression in...
