With the availability of the 600K Affymetrix Axiom high-density (HD) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip, genomic selection has been implemented in broiler and layer chicken. However, the cost of this SNP chip is too high to genotype all selection candidates. A solution is to develop a low-density SNP chip, at a lower price, and to impute all missing markers.

The purified lipases were immobilized on Duolite A 568 and used in the selective esterification of cholesterol with free fatty acids from sardine fish oil. The results showed that Lip A and Lip B preferentially esterified saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids allowing a 3.
