Abstract excerpt
Egg-laying and growth traits play a critical role in determining the economic value of geese. This study integrates a genome-wide association study with functional analyses to elucidate the genetic basis of these traits in the Jilin White Goose. We systematically phenotyped 200 geese for key egg-laying traits, such as total egg number and average egg-laying interval, as well as growth traits, including body...
