Simple Summary New genomic tools have been used as an instrument in order to assess
the molecular pathway involved in heat stress resistance. Local chicken breeds have a …

Chicken feed efficiency (FE) traits are the most important economic traits in broiler
production. Several studies evaluating genetic factors affecting food consumption in …

As the world's population grows and food needs diversification, the demand for cereals and
horticultural crops with beneficial traits increases. In order to meet a variety of demands …

Background The identification of markers and genes for growth traits may not only benefit for
marker assist selection/genomic selection but also provide important information for …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major type of structural genomic
variants that underlie genetic architecture and phenotypic variation of complex traits, not …

Rapid growth is one of the most important economic traits in broiler breeding programs.
Identifying markers and genes for growth traits may not only benefit marker-assisted …

It is of vital importance to understand the population structure, dissect the genetic bases of
performance traits, and make proper strategies for selection in breeding programs. However …

Body size is one of the main selection indices in chicken breeding. Although often
investigated, knowledge of the underlying genetic mechanisms is incomplete. The aim of the …

With the upsurge of crossbreeding in India, the admixture levels are highly unpredictable in
the composite breeds. Hence, in the present study, 72 Vrindavani animals were assessed …

A chicken genome has several regions with quantitative trait loci (QTLs). However,
replication and confirmation of QTL effects are required particularly in African chicken …
