A region on chicken chromosome 2 affects both egg white thinning and egg weight

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We describe the results from genetic dissection of a QTL region on chicken chromosome 2, shown to affect egg weight and quality in an earlier genome scan of an F<sub>2 </sub>intercross between two divergent egg layer lines. As the 90% confidence inter...
