Abstract excerpt

Plumage coloration is an economically important trait in poultry. Although PMEL mutations cause systemic pigmentation defects in vertebrates, their role in localized melanin deposition remains unclear. Wuhua yellow chickens, exhibiting black-spotted (BS) tails on a white background, provide a model system to address this knowledge gap. We integrated whole-genome sequencing of 47 roosters (24 solid white [SW] and...
