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

Background Meat quality is an important economic trait in chickens. To identify loci and
genes associated with meat quality traits, we conducted a genome-wide association study …

Background Wenchang chickens are one of the most popular local chicken breeds in the
Chinese chicken industry. However, the low feed efficiency is the main shortcoming of this …

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 …

Rapid growth is one of the most important economic traits in broiler breeding programs.
Identifying markers and genes for growth traits may not only benefit marker-assisted …

Chicken growth traits are important economic traits in broilers. A large number of studies are
available on finding genetic factors affecting chicken growth. However, most of these studies …

Meat from Korean native chickens (KNCs) has high consumer demand; however, slow
growth performance and high variation in body weight (BW) of KNCs remain an issue …

Introduction Investigating the genetic markers and genomic signatures related to chicken
meat production by combing multi-omics methods could provide new insights into modern …

Chicken body weight is an economically important trait and great genetic progress has been
accomplished in genetic selective for body weight. To identify genes and chromosome …

Background In broiler production, breast muscle weight and intramuscular fat (IMF) content
are important economic traits. Understanding the genetic mechanisms that underlie these …
