Overview

Genome-wide association study identifies 142 SNPs linked to body weight in Japanese quails, suggesting potential for breeding.

Key Points

  • 142 significant snps were identified, linked to body weight across multiple ages in the quail population.
  • Molecular markers include 42 candidate genes, such as ITM2B and ADAM33, which may inform breeding for body weight.
  • Genotyping-by-sequencing analysis of 240 japanese quails facilitated the identification of key genetic variants.
  • Findings highlight potential for genomic selection to enhance growth rates and meat productivity in poultry.
