Spontaneous preterm birth and single nucleotide gene polymorphisms: a recent update.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In livestock species like the chicken, high throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays are increasingly being used for whole genome association studies and as a tool in breeding (referred to as genomic selection). To be of value in a wide variety of breeds and populations, the success ...
