Abstract excerpt
Low-pass sequencing data have been proposed as an alternative to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of several species. However, it has not been used in layer chickens yet. This study aims at comparing the GWAS results of White Leghorn chickens using low-pass sequencing data (1×) and 54 k SNP chip data. Ten commercially relevant egg quality traits including...
