Abstract excerpt

For 17 microsatellite markers, allele frequencies were determined in nine highly selected commercial broiler and six highly selected commercial layer lines using pooled blood samples from 60 animals. The average number of marker alleles was 5.8 over all lines, 5.2 over broiler lines, and 3.0 over...
