Haplotype analysis incorporating ancestral origins identified novel genetic loci associated with chicken body weight using an advanced intercross line
In addition to the candidate genes reported in this study, our research demonstrates the effectiveness of incorporating ancestral information in population genetic analyses, which can be broadly applicable for genetic mapping in populations generated by ancestors with distinct phenotypes and genetic backgrounds. Our methods can benefit both geneticists and biologists interested in the genetic determinism of complex traits.
