Is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Marker in the Cholecystokinin A Receptor Gene Practically Suitable for Improving the Growth Traits of Hinai-jidori Chickens?

We have previously reported a significant association between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; g.420 C>A) in the cholecystokinin type A receptor gene (CCKAR) and the growth traits of Hinai-dori, a breed of chicken that is indigenous to Japan. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the mi...
