Genome-wide genetic structure and selection signatures for color in 10 traditional Chinese yellow-feathered chicken breeds

Abstract Background Yellow-feathered chickens (YFCs) have a long history in China. They are well-known for the nutritional and commercial importance attributable to their yellow color phenotype. Currently, there is a huge paucity in knowledge of the genetic determinants responsible for phenotypic an...
