Two novel linkage SNPs of VLDLR gene intron 11 are associated with laying traits in two quail populations

The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is an important multifunctional receptor and plays a key role in chicken reproduction. This study is designed to investigate the effect of variants in the VLDLR gene on quail laying traits. Two quail populations were studied – yellow feather quail a...
