Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a population of 110 ducks, identifying 894 nucleotide changes and 58 candidate genes linked to plumage color.
  • * The MITF gene was highlighted as crucial in melanin production, with further experiments showing significant differences in gene expression that correlate with plumage color, supporting its key role in feather coloration.

The detrimental impact of obesity on human health is increasingly evident with the rise in obesity-related diseases. Skeletal muscle, the crucial organ responsible for energy balance metabolism, plays a significant role as a secretory organ by releasing various myokines. Among these myokines, interleukin 6 (IL-6) is closely associated with skeletal muscle contraction.

The assessment of population genetic structure is the basis for understanding the genetic information of indigenous breeds and is important for the protection and management of indigenous breeds. However, the population genetic differentiation of many local breeds still remains unclear. Here, we performed a genome-wide comparative analysis of Jinding, Liancheng white, Putian black, and Shanma ducks based on the genomic sequences using RAD sequencing to understand their population structure and genetic diversity.
