Abstract excerpt
Chicken carcass traits are economically important for the chicken industry. Detecting which genes affect chicken carcass traits is of great benefit to the genetic improvement of this important agricultural species. To investigate the genetic mechanism of carcass traits in chickens, we carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS). A total of 435 Chinese indigenous chickens were phenotyped for carcass weight...
