Article Synopsis
- Wenchang chicken, a local breed from Hainan Province, is celebrated for its adaptability to tropical climates and high-quality meat, but lacks sufficient genetic understanding for effective breeding and protection.
- Researchers conducted whole-genome resequencing on 200 samples from 10 strains and analyzed 21 traits, revealing distinct population structures influenced by artificial selection, especially for feather color.
- The study identified key candidate genes associated with resilience in tropical environments and variations in feather color, providing valuable insights for breeding and enhancing the genetic knowledge of chicken diversity.
