Abstract
The high growth (hg) gene in mouse presents a unique model because of its major effects on growth. Proposed research is directed toward identification of the hg gene and identification of growth control pathway hg is likely to be involved in. As an application of cloning in the hg region in mice, a genetic marker in the hg region of chicken will be developed. This marker will be used to evaluate the effect of the chicken hg region on growth in the cross between the lines divergently selected for growth. Identification of the hg gene and differentially expressed genes in the high growth mice should bring new insights into the regulation of mammalian growth. Such information could provide a basis for assessing the role of hg in human growth disorders. In addition, a marker in the hg region in the chicken may lead to identification of a quantitative trait locus influencing growth in this species, which, in turn, should help animal breeders in selecting animals with genetic potential for rapid and efficient growth
