Genome-wide association analysis reveal the genetic reasons affect melanin spot accumulation in beak skin of ducks

Abstract Background Skin pigmentation is a broadly appearing phenomenon of most animals and humans in nature. Here we used a bird model to investigate why melanin spot deposits on the skin. Results Our result showed that growth age and the sunlight might induce melanin deposition in bird beak skin w...
