Abstract:Background
Indigenous chickens were developed through a combination of natural and artificial selection; essentially, changes in genomes led to the formation of these modern breeds via admixture events. However, their confusing genetic backgrounds include a genomic footprint regulating complex traits, which is not conducive to modern animal breeding.
Results
To better evaluate the candidate regions under domestication in indigenous chickens, we con… Show more
