Abstract excerpt
Carcass traits are important to the commercial chicken industry, and understanding the genetics of these traits will be useful in the development of commercially viable varieties of chickens. We conducted a genome-wide association study based on 8 carcass trait phenotypes in a population of 400 43-week-old Jinghai Yellow chickens. Specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing technology was used to identify 90,961...
