research Genetic Dissection of Leg and Back Feather Follicle Density in Yellow-feathered Broiler: Integrative GWAS and Transcriptome Analysis Reveal the Regulatory Role of SERPINF1
This study examined feather follicle density in yellow-feathered broilers, finding that back follicle density was significantly higher than leg density and negatively correlated with various body weight measures; it also identified genetic markers and candidate genes, such as SERPINF1, associated with follicle density variations.
