The aim of this study was to partial genome scan (chromosome 5) of Japanese quail to
detect QTLs affecting growth traits based on a four-generation partial diallele cross design in …

A three-generation resource population was developed by using two distinct JAPANESE
QUAIL strains, wild and white to map quantitative trait loci underlying KLEIBER RATIO, an …

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO), which located on the apical membrane surface of thyrocytes, is
the key enzyme involved in thyroid hormone synthesis, mainly catalyses the iodination of …

This study utilized DNA fingerprints and crosses of two genetically distinct lines of layer‐type
chickens to identify genetic markers linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL). In phase I, back …

The study of the genetic structure and variability of the Toll-like receptors (TLR) in cattle is
aimed to detect polymorphisms, which are responsible for resistance of cattle breeds in …

Three single cross populations were generated in order to analyze factors affecting the
ability to detect true linkage with minimum false positive or false negative associations, and …

Feed and nutrient efficiency will become increasingly important in poultry production in the
coming years. In addition to feed efficiency, particular attention is paid to phosphorus (P) in …

We demonstrate a targeted approach, based on the concept of genetical genomics, applied
to a pilot study in poultry. It is a focused study of a marked QTL, in this case one affecting …

Background Improving feed efficiency is a major goal in poultry production in order to reduce
production costs, increase the possibility of using alternative feedstuffs and decrease the …

The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) is an important multifunctional receptor
and plays a key role in chicken reproduction. This study is designed to investigate the effect …
