Whole-genome selective sweep analyses identifies the region and candidate gene associated with white earlobe color in Mediterranean chickens
ABSTRACT: We compared the genomes of multiple domestic chicken breeds with red and white earlobes to identify the differentiated regions between groups of breeds differing in earlobe color. This was done using a selective sweep mapping approach based on whole-genome sequence data. The most significa...
