AB  - We constructed a chicken F(2) resource population to facilitate the genetic 
      improvement of economically important traits, particularly growth and carcass 
      traits. An F(2) population comprising 240 chickens obtained by crossing a Shamo 
      (lean, lightweight Japanese native breed) male and White Plymouth Rock breed 
      (fat, heavyweight broiler) females was measured for BW, carcass weight (CW), 
      abdominal fat weight (AFW), breast muscle weight (BMW), and thigh muscle weight 
      (TMW) and was used for genome-wide linkage and QTL analysis, using a total of 240 
      microsatellite markers. A total of 14 QTL were detected at a 5% chromosome-wide 
      level, and 7 QTL were significant at a 5% experiment-wide level for the traits 
      evaluated in the F(2) population. For growth traits, significant and suggestive 
      QTL affecting BW (measured at 6 and 9 wk) and average daily gain were identified 
      on similar regions of chromosomes 1 and 3. For carcass traits, the QTL effects on 
      CW were detected on chromosomes 1 and 3, with the greatest F-ratio of 15.0 being 
      obtained for CW on chromosome 3. Quantitative trait loci positions affecting BMW 
      and TMW were not detected at the same loci as those detected for BMW percentage 
      of CW and TMW percentage of CW. For AFW, QTL positions were detected at the same 
      loci as those detected for AFW percentage of CW. The present study identified 
      significant QTL affecting BW, CW, and AFW.
