Research Note: Fine mapping of sequence variants associated with body weight of Lueyang black-boned chicken in the CCKAR gene

ABSTRACT: Cholecystokinin A receptor (CCKAR) is a key receptor mediating satiety. Previous studies found that decreased expression of CCKAR attenuated satiety, and thus contributed to the high-growth of broiler chickens. The objective of this study is to map sequence variants associated with the gro...
