Identification and Functional Annotation of Genes Related to Bone Stability in Laying Hens Using Random Forests

Identification and Functional Annotation of Genes Related to Bone Stability in Laying Hens Using Random Forests

Skeletal disorders, including fractures and osteoporosis, in laying hens cause major welfare and economic problems. Although genetics have been shown to play a key role in bone integrity, little is yet known about the underlying genetic architecture of the traits. This study aimed to identify genes...
