Abstract excerpt
Chicken body size (BS) is an economically important trait, which has been assessed in many studies for genetic selection. However, previous reports 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) of purebred Wenshang Barred chickens. A total of 250...
