Positive selection of skeleton-related genes during duck domestication revealed by whole genome sequencing
Abstract Background Domestication alters several phenotypic, neurological, and physiological traits in domestic animals compared to those in their wild ancestors. Domestic ducks originated from mallards, and some studies have shown that spot-billed ducks may have also made minor genetic contribution...
