Genetic assessment of inbred chicken lines indicates genomic signatures of resistance to Marek’s disease

Abstract Background Marek’s disease (MD) is a highly contagious pathogenic and oncogenic disease primarily affecting chickens. However, the mechanisms of genetic resistance for MD are complex and not fully understood. MD-resistant line 63 and MD-susceptible line 72 are two highly inbred progenitor l...
