title: [Progress in candidate genes influencing meat quality traits in chickens].
abstract: As the molecular biology has been applied in animal genetics and breeding,it is important that we research major genes on quantitative traits for animal breeding by transgenic technology. In this paper,the research advance of FABP genes, obese gene, leptin gene, MCRs genes, LPL gene, HSL gene affecting meat quality in animals are reviewed.
