Whole-genome resequencing-based comparative variant analysis identifies candidate genes associated with cross-beak phenotype in Huiyang Bearded chickens

Cross-beaks are deemed a threat to poultry health, productivity, and animal welfare. Nevertheless, due to sporadic cases, heterogeneity of gene loci and incomplete dominance, the molecular mechanism of cross-beak formation, especially the degree of cross, is not yet clear. Thus, we screen key genes and reveal the possi...
