Microevolutionary Dynamics of Chicken Genomes under Divergent Selection for Adiposity

Microevolutionary Dynamics of Chicken Genomes under Divergent Selection for Adiposity

Summary: Decades of artificial selection have significantly improved performance and efficiency of animal production systems. However, little is known about the microevolution of genomes due to intensive breeding. Using whole-genome sequencing, we document dynamic changes of chicken genomes under di...
