Genome-wide candidate signatures of divergent selection between broody Silkie and White Leghorn chickens revealed by high-density SNP genotyping.
Genome-wide population structure, genetic differentiation and homozygosity patterns were investigated between Silkie and White Leghorn chickens, using high-density autosomal SNP genotypes, providing a population-genomic framework for prioritising candidate regions for maternal behaviour, reproductive physiology and egg...
