Genomic Insights into the Giant Shank Phenotype of Dong Tao Chickens Reveal Candidate Loci Involved in Skeletal Growth and Development.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The Dong Tao (DT) chicken is a traditional Vietnamese breed characterized by extremely enlarged shanks, representing one of the most distinctive morphological traits observed in domestic chickens. Despite its economic and cultural importance, the genetic basis underlying this phenotype remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated...
