Abstract excerpt
Although graylag geese (A. anser) showed similar plumages of white, grey, and white with grey patches compared to those in swan geese (A. cygnoides), it was believed the substantial molecular mechanism for plumage variations were different. To date, studies on genes responsible for diverse plumages among graylag geese were limited and causal mutations remain unknown. In this study, genomes from 57 individuals...
