Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Yunlong Short-Leg chicken is a local dual-purpose breed in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, China, characterized phenotypically by notably shortened shank and a compact body stature. Nevertheless, the genetic mechanisms responsible for its short-legged phenotype have yet to be elucidated. RESULTS: In this study, Yunlong Short-Leg chickens with different shank...
