Abstract excerpt
Body size is one of the main selection indices in chicken breeding. Although often investigated, knowledge of the underlying genetic mechanisms is incomplete. The aim of the current study was to identify genomic regions associated with body size differences between Asian Game and Asian Bantam type chickens. In this study, 94 and 107 chickens from 4 Asian Game and 5 Asian Bantam type breeds, respectively, were...
