Identifying Candidate Genes for Late-Feathering Subtypes of the Shouguang Chicken by Genome-Wide Association Study and Differential Expression Analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Late-feathering phenotype can be classified into subtypes based on the difference in length between primary and primary-covert feathers of 1-day-old chicks. In this study, a chick with its primary feathers shorter than its primary-covert feathers is identified as Subtype 1 (T1), and a chick with its primary feathers as long as its primary-covert feathers is identified as Subtype 2 (T2). The objective of this...
