主 题:body size artificial selection comparative population genomics domestication
摘 要:Body size is the most important economic trait for animal production and *** hundreds of loci have been reported to be associated with growth trait and body weight in *** loci are mapped to large genomic regions due to the low density and limited number of genetic markers in previous ***,we employed comparative population genomics to identify genetic basis underlying the small body size of Yuanbao chicken(a famous ornamental chicken)based on 89 whole *** most significant signal was mapped to the BMP10 gene,whose expression was upregulated in the Yuanbao *** of BMP10 induced a significant decrease in body length by inhibiting angiogenic vessel development in *** addition,three other loci on chromosomes 1,2,and 24 were also identified to be potentially involved in the development of body *** results provide a paradigm shift in identification of novel loci controlling body size variation,availing a fast and efficient *** loci,particularly BMP10,add insights into ongoing research of the evolution of body size under artificial selection and have important implications for future chicken breeding.
