Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Domestic chickens primarily descended from the wild red junglefowl, play a crucial role in global egg and meat production. China hosts diverse indigenous chicken populations that have adapted to various environmental conditions, including high-altitude with hypoxic and ultraviolet radiation stress. METHOD: We analyzed whole-genome sequences of 118 birds from five Indigenous Chinese chicken...
