Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies Important Haplotypes and Candidate Gene <i>XKR4</i> for Body Size Traits in Pekin Ducks
Body size is an important growth indicator in ducks and is a primary selection criterion for physical improvement. An excessively rapid growth rate in meat ducks can result in excessive body size, which may hinder subsequent processing and slaughter operations. However, only a few molecular markers...
