The idiosyncratic genome of Korean long-tailed chicken as a valuable genetic resource
Summary: Today, breeds with ornamental traits such as exceptionally long tail feathers are economically valuable. However, the genetic basis of long-tail feathers is yet to be understood. To provide better understanding of long tail feathers, we sequenced Korean long-tailed chicken (KLC) genomes and...

| description | Summary: Today, breeds with ornamental traits such as exceptionally long tail feathers are economically valuable. However, the genetic basis of long-tail feathers is yet to be understood. To provide better understanding of long tail feathers, we sequenced Korean long-tailed chicken (KLC) genomes and compared them with genomes of other chicken breeds. We first analyzed the genome structure of KLC and its genomic relationship with other chickens and observed unique characteristics. Subsequently, we searched for genomic regions under selection. Feather keratin 1-like enriched region and several genes were found to have novel putative functions and effects on the long tail trait in KLC. Our findings support the value of KLC as a unique genetic resource and cast light on the genetic basis of long tail traits in avian species. We expect this novel knowledge to provide new genomic evidence and options for designing and implementing genetic improvements of ornamental chicken productivity through precision crossbreeding aids. |
