Whole-genome resequencing reveals loci under selection during chicken domestication (Nature)

10 March 2010, 10:07 am

Domestic animals are excellent models for genetic studies of phenotypic evolution. They have evolved genetic adaptations to a new environment, the farm, and have been subjected to strong human-driven selection leading to remarkable phenotypic changes in morphology, physiology and behaviour. Identifying the genetic changes underlying these developments provides new insight into general mechanisms ...... Read More »
