Genetic basis of negative heterosis for growth traits in chickens revealed by genome-wide gene expression pattern analysis

Abstract Background Heterosis is an important biological phenomenon that has been extensively utilized in agricultural breeding. However, negative heterosis is also pervasively observed in nature, which can cause unfavorable impacts on production performance. Compared with systematic studies of posi...
