Verification of the Effectiveness of an SNP Marker in the Cholecystokinin Type A Receptor Gene for Improving Growth Traits in Okumino-kojidori Chickens

A significant association was reported between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; AB604331, g.420 C>A) in the cholecystokinin type A receptor gene and growth traits in some Japanese slow-growing chickens. Demonstration tests of the genetic improvement effect by comparing the superior alle...
