Abstract excerpt
Egg production traits are economically important in laying ducks. Genetic molecular mechanisms and candidate genes underlying these traits remain unclear. In this study, whole genome variants were identified through whole-genome resequencing using three high-egg producing (HEN) and three low-egg producing (LEN) laying ducks. The gene ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathways...
