Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Birds have various plumage color patterns, and spot is a common phenotype. Herein, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a population of 225 ducks with different sized black spots to reveal the genetic basis of this phenomenon. RESULTS: First, we quantified the black spot phenotype within the duck population. The results showed that the uncolored area of the body surface first...
