Abstract excerpt
Russian Snow White (RSW) chickens are characterized by high egg production, extreme resistance to low temperatures, disease resistance, and by the snow-white color of the day-old chicks. Studying the genome of this unique chicken breed will reveal its evolutionary history and help to understand the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying the unique characteristics of this breed, which will open new breeding...
