Abstract excerpt
Chicken body weight (BW) is an economically important trait, and many studies have been conducted on genetic selection for BW. However, previous studies have detected functional chromosome mutations or regions using gene chips. The present study used the specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) technology to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on purebred Wengshang Barred chicken. A...
