Abstract excerpt
Blood composition is indicative of health-related traits such as immunity and metabolism. The use of molecular genetics to investigate alterations in these attributes in laying ducks is a novel approach. Our objective was to employ genome - wide association studies (GWAS) and haplotype - sharing analysis to identify genomic regions and potential genes associated with 11 blood components in Shaoxing ducks. Our...
