Genetic Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Egg Production and Egg Quality Traits in Chickens: a Review

Chickens display a wide spectrum of phenotypic variations in quantitative traits such as egg-related traits. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis is a statistical method used to understand the relationship between phenotypic (trait measurements) and genotypic data (molecular markers). We have p...
