A genome-wide association study reveals novel genomic regions and positional candidate genes for fat deposition in broiler chickens

BACKGROUND: Excess fat content in chickens has a negative impact on poultry production. The discovery of QTL associated with fat deposition in the carcass allows the identification of positional candidate genes (PCGs) that might regulate fat deposition and be useful for selection against excess fat...
