Description
Huiyu Wang, Ignacy Misztal, Ignacio Aguilar and colleagues compared gene mapping methods in broiler chickens. Their paper appeared in Frontiers in Genetics in 2014. The trait was body weight at six weeks. Such mapping helps breeders find genes that shape growth.
The team applied several methods to the same real chicken data. Two methods used records from relatives that had no gene data. Other methods used single gene markers or a Bayesian model. They compared the regions each method found. They also checked shared findings, explained variation and computing speed. They noted traps that can mislead readers of results. The work helps animal breeders choose sound mapping tools.
