Genomic insights into egg production in Mahuang chickens: identification of key loci and candidate genes through whole genome sequencing and validation.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies provide a framework for identifying candidate genes linked to economically significant egg production traits in poultry. This study aimed to elucidate genetic variations influencing key egg production traits, specifically total number of eggs laid, number of eggs laid at 43 weeks, normal egg count, and normal egg rate in Mahuang chickens. Employing a low-coverage whole genome...
