Integrated Analysis of SNPs and Structural Variations via High-depth Whole-genome Sequencing Reveals the Genetic Architecture and Optimizes Genomic Prediction in Chickens
The characterization of genetic architecture and the optimization of genomic prediction are pivotal for the genetic improvement of complex traits in poultry. In this study, we investigated the genetic basis of 15 growth and carcass traits in an F2 chicken population (n = 877) using high-depth whole-genome sequencing wi...
