Abstract excerpt
With the availability of the 600K Affymetrix Axiom high-density (HD) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip, genomic selection has been implemented in broiler and layer chicken. However, the cost of this SNP chip is too high to genotype all selection candidates. A solution is to develop a low-density SNP chip, at a lower price, and to impute all missing markers. But to routinely implement this solution, the...
