Comparative genome analysis with the human genome reveals chicken genes associated with fatness and body weight.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2011

Twito T, Madeleine D, Perl-Treves R, Hillel J, Lavi U

Abstract excerpt

The selection of meat-type chickens (broilers) for rapid growth has been accompanied by excessive fat deposition. In this study, we analysed 53 candidate genes that are associated with obesity and obesity-related traits in humans, for which we found chicken orthologues by BLAST searches. We have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with significant differences in allele frequencies between broilers...
