An EAV-HP insertion in 5' Flanking region of SLCO1B3 causes blue eggshell in the chicken.
The genetic determination of eggshell coloration has not been determined in birds. Here we report that the blue eggshell is caused by an EAV-HP insertion that promotes the expression of SLCO1B3 gene in the uterus (shell gland) of the oviduct in chicken. In this study, the genetic map location of the...
