Growth traits are important economic traits in broiler chicken production. AluI and Hin1I loci are two restriction sites, which are respectively located in exons 2 and 3 of the IGF-1R gene. These two loci are significantly related to the growth traits in Jinghai Yellow chickens. In this study, a correlation analysis was perfor.. Read More»

Myf5 and MyoG gene SNPs associated with Bian chicken growth trait
Authors: Y. Wei, G.X. Zhang, T. Zhang, J.Y. Wang, Q.C. Fan, Y. Tang, F.X. Ding and L. Zhang
The growth trait is important in poultry production. We analyzed the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Myf5 and MyoG gene and Bian chicken growth traits. SNPs in candidate genes of the Bian chickens were detected by the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism method. Two mutation loci and six genot.. Read More»
