Descripción: “...An example is the pulmonary arterial hypertension in meat-type broilers, a syndrome which accounts for nearly 30 % of mortalityA step toward the identification of these associations has been implemented by using both molecular technolo- gies and statistical models that allow the generation of quick results useful in the implementation of breeding and selection programsThe present document describes both, the methodology for sequencing the domestic chicken genome and the polymorphism identification within candidate genes of susceptible broiler chickens prone to develop hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. ...”
