Detection of QTL for traits related to adaptation to sub-optimal climatic conditions in chickens
Abstract Background Growth traits can be used as indicators of adaptation to sub-optimal conditions. The current study aimed at identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control performance under variable temperature conditions in chickens. Methods An F2 population was produced by crossing the...
