Carcass traits are important to the commercial chicken industry, and understanding the
genetics of these traits will be useful in the development of commercially viable varieties of …

Chicken carcass traits are economically important for the chicken industry. Detecting which
genes affect chicken carcass traits is of great benefit to the genetic improvement of this …

Carcass traits in broiler chickens are complex traits that are influenced by multiple genes. To
gain deeper insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying carcass traits, here we …

Body composition and meat quality traits are important economic traits of chickens. The
development of high-throughput genotyping platforms and relevant statistical methods have …

Body size is one of the main selection indices in chicken breeding. Although often
investigated, knowledge of the underlying genetic mechanisms is incomplete. The aim of the …

Chicken growth traits are economically important, but the relevant genetic mechanisms have
not yet been elucidated. Herein, we performed a genome-wide association study to identify …

Background Body weight and size are important economic traits in chickens. While many
growth-related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes have been identified …

Chicken body size (BS) is an economically important trait, which has been assessed in
many studies for genetic selection. However, previous reports detected functional …

There have been several genome-wide association study (GWAS) reported for carcass,
growth, and meat traits in chickens. Most of these studies have been based on single SNPs …

This study was designed to investigate the genetic basis of growth and egg traits in
Dongxiang blue‐shelled chickens and White Leghorn chickens. In this study, we employed …
