An eQTL in the cystathionine beta synthase gene is linked to osteoporosis in laying hens

Abstract Background Skeletal damage is a challenge for laying hens because the physiological adaptations required for egg laying make them susceptible to osteoporosis. Previously, we showed that genetic factors explain 40% of the variation in end of lay bone quality and we detected a quantitative tr...
