Abstract excerpt
An F2 population of 239 chickens was obtained by an intercross between Nagoya (NAG), a native Japanese breed with low growth, and White Plymouth Rock (WPR), a Western breed with high growth. Using SNP markers obtained by restriction site-associated DNA sequencing, genome-wide QTL analysis was performed and it revealed three QTL for early postnatal growth in the F2 population at genome-wide 5% significance levels....
