Table eggs with color-uniformity shell are visually attractive for consumers. Lueyang black-boned chicken (LBC) lays colorful eggs, which is undesirable sale of table but provides a segregating population mapping functional variants affecting eggshell color. SLCO1B3 was identified as the causative gene blue in Dongxiang and Araucana chickens. The aim this study to map associated color SLCO1B3. Eggshell LBC (n = 383) measured using L*a*b space. resequencing subset 30) 383 samples. Linkage...
Chicken blue-greenish coloration (BGC) was known as a classic Mendel trait caused by retrovirus (EAV-HP) insertion in the SLCO1B3 gene. Lueyang black-boned chicken (LBC) BGC is light and varies continuously, implying that LBC may be controlled new molecular mechanism. The aim of this study to provide an insight into basis BGC. EAV-HP detected (n = 105) non-BGC 474) using PCR-based method. association expression shell glands sequence variants 1.6-kb region upstream from transcription start...
