Marker‐assisted selection (MAS) to enhance genetic resistance to Marek’s disease (MD), a herpesvirus‐induced T cell cancer in chicken, is an attractive alternative to augment control with vaccines. Our earlier studies indicate that there are many quantitative trait loci (QTL) containing one or more
