Evaluation of HOXC8 in crested Swiss chicken.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2018

Joller S, Ammann P, Flury C, Drögemüller C

Abstract excerpt

The crest in chicken consists of elongated and upraised feathers, as seen in various breeds such as the Silkie chicken. Recently, the still unknown causative mutation for the crest phenotype was assigned to chromosome 33 and an ectopic expression of HOXC8 was shown. The aim this study was to evaluate whether the crest phenotype in a local Swiss chicken breed, the Appenzeller Spitzhaubenhuhn, is associated with...
