Genome-Wide Association Study of Egg Production Traits in Shuanglian Chickens Using Whole Genome Sequencing

Egg production is the most important economic trait in laying hens. To identify molecular markers and candidate genes associated with egg production traits, such as age at first egg (AFE), weight at first egg (WFE), egg weight (EW), egg number (EN), and maximum consecutive egg laying days (MCD), a g...
