Abstract excerpt
The crested duck was a duck breed which features a topknot of feathers on the back of their head. In order to explain the reason of crest, we anatomy the head of some crested ducks. The anatomical structures showed that there was a fat body in the head and a hole in the skull. To determine the reason for the formation of the crest, we used whole genome re-sequencing to detect SNPs and InDels in three crested duck...
