Estimates of the position of the bone quality QTL located on chromosome 1 in hens of an F2 reciprocal cross between White Leghorn hens divergently selected for bone index
| Trait | Position (cM) | 95% CI (cM) | F statistic | Flanking markers | aPosition (Mb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tibiotarsal breaking strength | 363 (370) | 348–402 (138–416) | 16.2 (13.2) | ROS0081 ADL0148 | 111.2–113.1 |
| Humeral breaking strength | 365 (343) | 129–381 (30–376) | 11.1 (7.9) | ADL0268-MCW0061 | 90.2–90.2 |
| Bone index | 364 (364) | 325–401 (198–393) | 12.3 (9.3) | Ost109151638-ADL0148 | 107.0–113.1 |
The values in brackets represent the values found in the original analysis [16]
aPositions in Mb on the chicken genome galGal6 build were calculated from the position of the flanking markers on the 2011 (galGal4) build, then updated using Liftover
