Genome-wide association study in the Baicheng-You chickens highlights candidate variants for egg quality traits.
The Baicheng-You chicken is an indigenous Chinese breed known for its superior egg quality and stress resistance, yet the genetic basis of these traits is not fully understood. This study investigated the genomic architecture of 10 egg quality traits in 1 002 Baicheng-You chickens using whole-genome resequencing. The e...
