Abstract excerpt
The body size of a chicken is an economically important trait as it directly influences the benefits of the poultry industry, but the relevant genetic mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we measured eight growth traits for 94 Yandang partridge chickens, then undertook genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for those traits in using a linear mixed model based on 10× whole genomic sequencing...
