Genome-wide association study and a post replication analysis revealed a promising genomic region and candidate genes for chicken eggshell blueness.

Genome-wide association study and a post replication analysis revealed a promising genomic region and candidate genes for chicken eggshell blueness.

The eggshell blueness is an interesting object for chicken genetic studies and blue-shelled chicken industry, especially after the discovery of the causative mutation of chicken blue eggshell. In the present study, genome wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in Chinese Dongxiang blue-shelled...
