Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this study, I carried out production of F2 resource population derived from two lines differing in body size, phenotypic measurement, and development of SNP markers for future analysis of QTL affecting growth of Japanese quail. Around 42,000 SNP markers were obtained from parental generation using RAD sequencing. These markers will be a useful tool for mapping of QTL associated with quail growth.
