Rumplessness in Hongshan chickens has been reported as a novel sex-linked characteristic. Re-sequencing data suggest that a pseudogene on the Z chromosome, LOC431648, is affiliated with this phenotype. In this study, we chose 23 rumpless and 25 normal Hongshan chickens to localize the potential variation by means of a genome-wide association study using a high density microarray. A region on the Z chromosome was...
