Identification of genomic regions and candidate genes for chicken meat ultimate pH by combined detection of selection signatures and QTL

Abstract Background The understanding of the biological determinism of meat ultimate pH, which is strongly related to muscle glycogen content, is a key point for the control of muscle integrity and meat quality in poultry. In the present study, we took advantage of a unique model of two broiler line...
