Identification of the genetic basis of the duck growth rate in multiple growth stages using genome-wide association analysis

Abstract Background The genetic locus responsible for duck body size has been fully explained before, but the growth trait-related genetic basis is still waiting to be explored. For example, the genetic site related to growth rate, an important economic trait affecting marketing weight and feeding c...
