Design of low density SNP chips for genotype imputation in layer chicken

Abstract Background The main goal of selection is to achieve genetic gain for a population by choosing the best breeders among a set of selection candidates. Since 2013, the use of a high density genotyping chip (600K Affymetrix® Axiom® HD genotyping array) for chicken has enabled the implementation...
