Genome-wide effects of long-term divergent selection.

PLoS genetics - 4 Nov 2010

Johansson Anna M, Pettersson Mats E, Siegel Paul B, Carlborg Orjan

Abstract excerpt

To understand the genetic mechanisms leading to phenotypic differentiation, it is important to identify genomic regions under selection. We scanned the genome of two chicken lines from a single trait selection experiment, where 50 generations of selection have resulted in a 9-fold difference in body weight. Analyses of nearly 60,000 SNP markers showed that the effects of selection on the genome are dramatic. The...
