Genomic signatures of 60 years of bidirectional selection for 8-week body weight in chickens.

Poultry science - 1 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

Sixty years, constituting 60 generations, have passed since the founding of the Virginia body weight lines, an experimental population of White Plymouth Rock chickens. Using a stringent breeding scheme for divergent 8-week body weight, the lines, which originated from a common founder population, have responded to bidirectional selection with an approximate 15-fold difference in the selected trait. They provide a...
