Abstract excerpt
Poultry meat, particularly Peking ducks, holds a significant global market share, prized for their high meat yield and fat content. However, understanding of the molecular genetic mechanisms influencing carcass yield in ducks is limited. This research aims to use genome-wide association analysis to uncover single-nucleotide polymorphisms influencing carcass yield in Peking ducks, followed by identifying candidate...
