Genome-wide association study reveals candidate genes relevant to body weight in female turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).
The underlying genetic mechanisms affecting turkey growth traits have not been widely investigated. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is a powerful approach to identify candidate regions associated with complex phenotypes and diseases in livestock. In the present study, we performed GWAS to ide...
