A novel minisequencing single-nucleotide polymorphism marker of the lysozyme gene detects high hatchability of Tsaiya ducks (Anas platyrhynchos).

Abstract excerpt

Lysozyme, one of the major albumen antimicrobials, can break down the polysaccharide walls of a broad spectrum of bacteria. This study presents a novel lysozyme marker of high hatchability in the form of minisequencing single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Recently, lysozyme was identified by complementary DNA microarray analysis as one of several differentially expressed genes noted to influence hatchability...
