Genome-wide association analysis of egg production performance in chickens across the whole laying period

Abstract Background Egg production is the most economically-important trait in layers as it directly influences benefits of the poultry industry. To better understand the genetic architecture of egg production, we measured traits including age at first egg (AFE), weekly egg number (EN) from onset of...
