Genome-wide candidate signatures of divergent selection between broody Silkie and White Leghorn chickens revealed by high-density SNP genotyping

1. In this study, genome-wide population structure, genetic differentiation and homozygosity patterns were investigated between Silkie (SLK) and White Leghorn (WLH) chickens, using high-density autosomal SNP genotypes. These breeds were selected as they have markedly different br...
