FADS2

Adjacent SNPs in the transcriptional regulatory region of the FADS2 gene associated with fatty acid and growth traits in chickens

S. K. Zhu, Tian, Y. D., Zhang, S., Chen, Q. X., Wang, Q. Y., Han, R. L., and Kang, X. T., Adjacent SNPs in the transcriptional regulatory region of the FADS2 gene associated with fatty acid and growth traits in chickens, vol. 13, pp. 3329-3336, 2014.

Delta-6 fatty acid desaturases are rate-limiting desaturases involved in metabolic processes of fatty acids, and they are encoded by the FADS2 gene. In the current study, an F2 resource population of Gushi chickens crossed with Anak broilers was used to investigate the genetic effects of the chicken FADS2.
