Abstract excerpt
Allelic variation in chicken red blood cell alloantigens has multiple associations with production traits or disease resistance. Recent studies have identified the gene and chromosomal location for chicken alloantigen genes A, D, E, I, and L. Haplotypes (specific SNP combinations) within each gene were identified to distinguish the serological variants found within the different blood systems. The objective of...
