Abstract excerpt
Cholecystokinin A receptor (CCKAR) is a key receptor mediating satiety. Previous studies found that decreased expression of CCKAR attenuated satiety, and thus contributed to the high-growth of broiler chickens. The objective of this study is to map sequence variants associated with the growth of chickens in the CCKAR. The CCKAR and upstream 1.4 kb genomic sequences were resequenced to find out all sequence...
