Genome-wide association study exploring the genetic architecture of eggshell speckles in laying hens
Abstract Background Eggshell speckle phenotype is an important trait in poultry production because they affect eggshell quality. However, the genetic architecture of speckled eggshells remains unclear. In this study, we determined the heritability of eggshell speckles and conducted a genome-wide ass...
