Genome-wide interval mapping using SNPs identifies new QTL for growth, body composition and several physiological variables in an F(2) intercross between fat and lean chicken lines

BACKGROUND: For decades, genetic improvement based on measuring growth and body composition traits has been successfully applied in the production of meat-type chickens. However, this conventional approach is hindered by antagonistic genetic correlations between some traits and the high cost of meas...
