High-density genotyping reveals candidate genomic regions for chicken body size in breeds of Asian origin

ABSTRACT: Body size is one of the main selection indices in chicken breeding. Although often investigated, knowledge of the underlying genetic mechanisms is incomplete. The aim of the current study was to identify genomic regions associated with body size differences between Asian Game and Asian Ban...
