Abstract excerpt
Breast muscle weight (BrW) is one of the most important economic traits in chicken, and directional breeding for that results in both phenotypic and genetic changes. The Jingxing yellow chicken, including an original (without human-driven selection) line and a selected line (based on selection for increased intramuscular fat content), were used to dissect the genetic architecture and key variants associated with...
