BMC Genomics, 10 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-10-5751471-2164http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/13237Final published versionAlthough many QTL for various traits have been mapped in livestock, location confidence intervals remain wide that makes difficult the identification of causative mutations. The aim of this study was to test the contribution of microarray data to QTL detection in livestock species. Three different but complementary approaches are proposed to improve characterization of a chicken QTL region for abdominal fatness (AF) previously detected on chromosome 5 (GGA5).Article is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
