Abstract excerpt
The complex and diverse ecological environment of southwestern China has exerted significant influences on the domestication and genetic adaptation of local duck breeds. Although ducks exhibit extensive genetic variation in heterogeneous environments, the genomic mechanisms underlying their adaptation to the complex topography and high-altitude conditions of southwestern China remain unclear. To elucidate the...
