Item Using transcriptome profiling to characterize QTL regions on chicken chromosome 5(BioMed Central, 2009) Le Mignon, G.; Pitel, F.; Desert, C.; Leroux, S.; Demeure, O.; Guernec, G.; Abasht, Behnam; Douaire, M.; Le Roy, P.; Lagarrigue, S.; Le Mignon, G., Pitel, F., Desert, C., Leroux, S., Demeure, O., Guernec, G., Abasht, Behnam, Douaire, M., Le Roy, P., Lagarrigue, S.; Abasht, BehnamAlthough 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).
