Poultry Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Poultry Science, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 2772, USA
Growth Dev Aging 67:47-54. 2003..Furthermore, it is thought that different sets of genes may operate between the developmental period and maturation period...
Accuracy of growth model parameters: effects of frequency and duration of data collection, and missing informationSamuel E Aggrey

Logistic nonlinear mixed effects model for estimating growth parametersS E Aggrey
Poultry Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Poultry Science and Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA
Poult Sci 88:276-80. 2009..The use of NLMM is recommended for modeling growth data in poultry because the predicted BW at different ages is more accurate than using the mean prediction function of the fixed effect model...
Genetic properties of feed efficiency parameters in meat-type chickensSamuel E Aggrey
Department of Poultry Science, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
Genet Sel Evol 42:25. 2010..We studied residual feed intake (RFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) over two age periods to delineate their genetic inter-relationships...

Poultry Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Poultry Science, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
Poult Sci 89:852-4. 2010..An integration of management, genetics, and genomic tools should be employed to genetically improve production and welfare traits with concurrent welfare risk assessments to address public and consumer concerns...
Identification of candidate genes at quantitative trait loci on chicken chromosome Z using orthologous comparison of chicken, mouse, and human genomesGeorgina A Ankra-Badu
Poultry Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Poultry Science and Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-2772, USA
In Silico Biol 5:593-604. 2005..Therefore, the nAchRs could be used as therapeutic targets for regulating feed intake and obesity. This study has identified 197 putative candidate genes in probable QTL regions of chicken chromosome Z...
Proteomic analysis and differential expression in protein extracted from chicken with a varying growth rate and water-holding capacityPhodchanee Phongpa-Ngan
Food Science and Technology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602, United States
J Agric Food Chem 59:13181-7. 2011..This information identified protein markers associated with growth rate and water holding capacity. Some of those protein markers could be added to the chicken database...
miR-Explore: Predicting MicroRNA Precursors by Class Grouping and Secondary Structure Positional AlignmentBram Sebastian
Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA
Bioinform Biol Insights 7:133-42. 2013..Compared with global alignment, grouping miRNA by classes yields a better sensitivity with very high specificity for pre-miRNA prediction even when a simple positional based secondary and primary structure alignment are used...

Department of Poultry Science Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA
BMC Genomics 11:107. 2010..We used Bayesian model selection to comprehensively map main, epistatic and sex-specific QTL in an F2 reciprocal intercross between two chicken lines divergently selected for high or low growth rate...
Specificity and sensitivity of PROMIR, ERPIN and MIR-ABELA in predicting pre-microRNAs in the chicken genomeBram Sebastian
Poultry Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Poultry Science, Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 2772, USA
In Silico Biol 8:377-81. 2008..94%, 99.46%, and 99.10% for ProMir-g, ERPIN and miR-abela, respectively. The sensitivities of the existing programs are low for chicken data and an efficient algorithm may be needed to predict novel chicken pre-miRNAs...
