Identification of SNPs Associated with Stress Response Traits within High Stress and Low Stress Lines of Japanese Quail.

Abstract excerpt

Mitigation of stress is of great importance in poultry production, as chronic stress can affect the efficiency of production traits. Selective breeding with a focus on stress responses can be used to combat the effects of stress. To better understand the genetic mechanisms driving differences in stress responses of a selectively bred population of Japanese quail, we performed genomic resequencing on 24 birds from...
