Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Meat quality is an important economic trait in chickens. To identify loci and genes associated with meat quality traits, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of F2 populations derived from a local Chinese breed (Beijing-You chickens) and a commercial fast-growing broiler line (Cobb-Vantress). RESULTS: In the present study, 33 association signals were detected from the compressed mixed...
