Integration of association and computational methods reveals functional variants of LEPR gene for abdominal fat content in chickens
Leptin receptor (LEPR) plays a vital role in obesity in humans and animals. The objective of this study is to assess LEPR functional variants for chicken adipose deposition by integration of association and in-silico analysis using a unique chicken population, the Northeast Agricultural University b...
