Genome-wide SNP scan of pooled DNA reveals nonsense mutation in <it>FGF20</it> in the scaleless line of featherless chickens

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Scaleless (<it>sc/sc</it>) chickens carry a single recessive mutation that causes a lack of almost all body feathers, as well as foot scales and spurs, due to a failure of skin patterning during embryogenesis. This sponta...
