Identification of potential genomic regions and candidate genes for egg albumen quality by a genome-wide association study

<p>Albumen quality is a leading economic trait in the chicken industry. Major studies have paid attention to genetic architecture underlying albumen quality. However, the putative quantitative trait locus (QTL) for this trait is still unclear. In this genome-wide association study, we used an...
