Abstract excerpt
Egg production is an important economic trait in layer ducks and understanding the genetics basis is important for their breeding. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for egg production traits in 303 female Longyan Shan-ma ducks was performed based on a genotyping-by-sequencing strategy. Sixty-two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with egg weight traits were identified (P < 9.48...
