Abstract excerpt
Chicken body weight (BW) is a critical trait in breeding. Although genetic variants associated with BW have been investigated by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the contributions of causal variants and their molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear in chickens. In this study, we construct a comprehensive genetic atlas of chicken BW by integrative analysis of 30 age points and 5 quantitative trait loci...
