An intercross population study reveals genes associated with body size and plumage color in ducks

Ducks, one of the most common domestic fowls, originated from mallards. Here, the authors perform whole-genome sequencing of mallards, indigenous-breed ducks, and Pekin ducks, as well as 1026 ducks from a population generated by wild × domestic crosses to identify selection signals and map variants...
