Abstract excerpt
Compared to commercial chickens, local breeds exhibit better in meat quality and flavour, but the productivity (e.g., growth rate, body weight) of local chicken breeds is rather low. Genetic analysis based on whole-genome sequencing contributes to elucidating the genetic markers or putative candidate genes related to some economic traits, facilitating the improvement of production performance, the acceleration of...
