Quantitative trait loci for bone traits segregating independently of those for growth in an F-2 broiler X layer cross [PDF]
An F broiler-layer cross was phenotyped for 18 skeletal traits at 6, 7 and 9 weeks of age and genotyped with 120 microsatellite markers. Interval mapping identified 61 suggestive and significant QTL on 16 of the 25 linkage groups for 16 traits.
