Genome-wide association analysis reveal the genetic reasons affect melanin spot accumulation in beak skin of ducks
2021-06-25
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Skin pigmentation is a broadly appearing phenomenon of most animals and humans in nature. Here we used a bird model to investigate why melanin spot deposits on the skin. Results We result shown that melanin deposition in bird skin was induced by growth age and ultraviolet UV radiation and determined by genetic factors. GWAS helped us to identify two major loci affecting melanin deposition, l...
