Genome-wide association study for carcase traits in spent hens at 72 weeks old

To determine the genetic architecture underlying spent hen carcase traits, especially in late laying, we used 1512 hens generated from Dongxiang Blue-Shelled and White Leghorn chickens to implement genome-wide association studies by high-density arrays. A total of 266 loci that mapped to (Gallus gal...
