Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: LCORL is a crucial gene that regulates body weight and size in several organisms, including the graylag geese (Anser anser). However, the effect of this gene in swan geese (Anser cygnoides) has been deemed negligible. As various indigenous goose breeds (A. cygnoides) are systemically selected for their growth performance, a comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis of growth performance-related...
