Abstract excerpt
In order to find SNPs and genes affecting shank traits, we performed a GWAS in a chicken F2 population of eight half-sib families from five hatches derived from reciprocal crosses between an Arian fast-growing line and an Urmia indigenous slow-growing chicken. A total of 308 birds were genotyped using a 60K chicken SNP chip. Shank traits including shank length and diameter were measured weekly from birth to...
