Genetic Dissection of Growth Traits in a Unique Chicken Advanced Intercross Line
The advanced intercross line (AIL) that is created by successive generations of pseudo-random mating after the F2 generation is a valuable resource, especially in agricultural livestock and poultry species, because it improves the precision of quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping compared with trad...
