Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: While epigenetic variations can contribute to shaping phenotypic diversity, it can be challenging to isolate and quantify the portion of trait variability under non-genetic influence. In this study we compared the phenotypic responses for different traits of two epilines of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) across three generations, using a large sample size. These epilines were built in parallel...
