Abstract excerpt
Abdominal fat thickness (AFT) is a crucial indicator for assessing fat deposition in White Feather broilers. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have primarily focused on single-point measurements of abdominal fat, with limited attention given to longitudinal phenotype records. Compared to traditional GWAS models, the longitudinal data-based GWAS (LONG-GWAS) model accounts for temporal phase effects,...
