Abstract excerpt
Beak deformity (crossed beaks) is found in several indigenous chicken breeds including Beijing-You studied here. Birds with deformed beaks have reduced feed intake and poor production performance. Recently, copy number variation (CNV) has been examined in many species and is recognized as a source of genetic variation, especially for disease phenotypes. In this study, to unravel the genetic mechanisms underlying...
