Abstract excerpt
Within feather pattern variation is widespread among chicken breeds globally and is primarily characterized by the distributions of eumelanin on a single feather vane. To analyze the genetic basis underlying different within feather patterns, we conducted the GWAS by pairwise comparing the three common patterns observed in Chinese domestic chickens: stippling, pencilling, and arrow. Based on the coding-region...
