Identification of genome-wide SNP-SNP interactions associated with important traits in chicken

Abstract Background In addition to additive genetic effects, epistatic interactions can play key roles in the control of phenotypic variation of traits of interest. In the current study, 475 male birds from lean and fat chicken lines were utilized as a resource population to detect significant epist...
