Elucidation of the genetic determination of body weight and size in Chinese local chicken breeds by large-scale genomic analyses

Abstract Background Body weight and size are important economic traits in chickens. While many growth-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes have been identified, further research is needed to confirm and characterize these findings. In this study, we investigate genetic and geno...
