Abstract excerpt
Lingxian white goose (LXW) is a goose breed indigenous to China that is famous for its meat quality and fast growth. However, the genomic evidence underlying such excellent breeding characteristics remains poorly understood. Therefore, we performed whole-genome resequencing of 141 geese from 3 indigenous breeds to scan for selection signatures and detect genomic regions related to breed features of LXW. We...
