As a critical developmental stage in vertebrates, the vertebral column formation process is under strict control; however, we observed variations in the number of cervical vertebrae in duck populations in our previous study. Here, we further explored the variations in the number of vertebrae in two duck populations: 421 Pekin duck × mallard F2 ducks and 850 Pekin ducks. Using resequencing data of 125 Pekin ducks...
