Early and late feathering in turkey and chicken: same gene but different mutations

Early and late feathering in turkey and chicken: same gene but different mutations

Abstract Background Sex-linked slow (SF) and fast (FF) feathering rates at hatch have been widely used in poultry breeding for autosexing at hatch. In chicken, the sex-linked K (SF) and k+ (FF) alleles are responsible for the feathering rate phenotype. Allele K is dominant and a partial duplication...
