Simulation of dual-purpose chicken breeding programs implementing gene editing

Table 4 The top QTL (SNPs) being edited in a single replicate of the L-pure scenario

SNP	Number of times edited	Effect on egg production	Effect on meat production	Effect on overall health	Effect on selection index
SNP 38	453	0.0213	− 0.0186	0.0228	0.0067
SNP 22	424	0.0019	− 0.0263	0.0277	− 0.0023
SNP 161	419	− 0.0505	0.0405	− 0.0027	− 0.0031
SNP 233	397	− 0.0436	0.0469	− 0.0006	0.0011
SNP 102	370	− 0.0251	0.0093	0.0231	− 0.0002
SNP 167	367	− 0.0110	− 0.0227	0.0172	− 0.0084
SNP 20	329	− 0.0589	0.0710	0.0043	0.0056
SNP 459	327	− 0.0253	0.0188	0.0164	0.0017
SNP 174	315	0.0263	− 0.0390	0.0173	− 0.0004
SNP 376	312	0.0535	− 0.0084	− 0.0214	0.0116

The table demonstrates that the edited SNPs in the L-Pure scenario usually had opposite effects on egg production and meat production
