Genome-wide characterization of genetic variants and putative regions under selection in meat and egg-type chicken lines.

Genome-wide characterization of genetic variants and putative regions under selection in meat and egg-type chicken lines.

Abstract: Background Meat and egg-type chickens have been selected for several generations for different traits. Artificial and natural selection for different phenotypes can change frequency of genetic variants, leaving particular genomic footprints throghtout the genome. Thus, the aims of this study were to sequence 28 chickens from two Brazilian lines (meat and white egg-type) and use this information to characterize genome-wide genetic variations, identify putative regions under selection using Fst method, and find putative pathways under selection.
