Abstract Background: The selection of Marek’s disease (MD)-resistant breeds in Partridge Shank chicken, a popular
local chicken breed in Henan Province of China, has practical value. We hypothesized that the two polymorphic sites
(rs14527240 located in SMOC1 and GGaluGA156129 located in PTPN3) related to MD resistance in White Leghorn
chickens are also applicable to Partridge Shank chickens. Methods: In this experiment, we screened 10 live hens and 2
live roosters with the double GG genotype by genotyping the two sites from 6500 Partridge Shank chickens. Nineteen
one-day-old chicks with the double GG genotype were obtained by artificial insemination. Seventy-two one-day-old
chickens… More >
