A genome-wide association analysis for body weight at 35 days measured on 137,343 broiler chickens
Abstract Background Body weight (BW) is an economically important trait in the broiler (meat-type chickens) industry. Under the assumption of polygenicity, a “large” number of genes with “small” effects is expected to control BW. To detect such effects, a large sample size is required in genome-wide...
