Genome-wide association scan for QTL and their positional candidate genes associated with internal organ traits in chickens

Abstract Background Poultry breeding programs have been focused on improvement of growth and carcass traits, however, this has resulted in correlated changes in internal organ weights and increased incidence of metabolic disorders. These disorders can affect feed efficiency or even cause death. We u...
