Expression analysis for candidate genes associated with eggshell mechanical property

Abstract: Damaged eggshells result in losses of eggs. The genetic mechanism of variable eggshell strength is still unclear. The current study was conducted to verify whether the eggshell calcification related genes, CALB1, SPP1, DMP4, BMP2 and SLIT2, were associated with eggshell mechanical property...
