Abstract excerpt
Investigations on the association between chicken traits and genetic variations can provide basic information to improve production performance in chickens. In our previous work, we genotyped 450 male chickens with a 600 K SNP array [1] and found that several SNPs in the genomic regions of the amylase alpha 1A (AMY1A) gene were significantly associated with feed intake efficiency and carcass traits. Given the...
