Identification of recombination hotspots and quantitative trait loci for recombination rate in layer chickens

Abstract Background The frequency of recombination events varies across the genome and between individuals, which may be related to some genomic features. The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of recombination events and to identify QTL (quantitative trait loci) for recombination r...
