Abstract excerpt
Muscle fiber diameter is an economically important trait because it affects meat yield and quality. However, the genetic basis underlying muscle fiber diameter has not been determined. In this study, we collected THREE muscular histological phenotypes in 479 ducks from an F2 segregating population generated by mallard × Pekin duck crosses. We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and identified a...
