Single SNP- and pathway-based genome-wide association studies for beak deformity in chickens using high-density 600K SNP arrays
Abstract Background Beak deformity, typically expressed as the crossing of upper and lower mandibles, is found in several indigenous chicken breeds, including the Beijing-You chickens studied here. Beak deformity severely impairs the birds’ growth and welfare. Although previous studies shed some lig...
