Genome-wide association study identifies Loci and candidate genes for body composition and meat quality traits in Beijing-You chickens.

Genome-wide association study identifies Loci and candidate genes for body composition and meat quality traits in Beijing-You chickens.

Body composition and meat quality traits are important economic traits of chickens. The development of high-throughput genotyping platforms and relevant statistical methods have enabled genome-wide association studies in chickens. In order to identify molecular markers and candidate genes associated...
