Abstract excerpt
Transcription factors (TFs) encoded by SALL1 and SALL3 genes play central roles in the regulation of ovarian development in hens. The present study aimed to examine polymorphisms of these two genes in Chinese Dagu chickens, and to identify the effects of TFs on the laying performance. Among the population, two novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified by single-strand conformation polymorphism...
