Excerpt from source
Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) exhibit exceptional phenotypic diversity and provide a valuable model for studying domestication and artificial selection. We integrated whole-genome resequencing data from ~3000 individuals with 20 slaughter-related traits. Population genomic analyses revealed pronounced genetic differentiation between northern and southern Chinese indigenous chickens, accompanied by distinct signatures of domestication and local adaptation. To dissect the gene regulatory networks of slaughter-related traits, we developed an Integrated Weighted Regulatory Network Analysis (iWRNA) framework that combines genome-wide association signals with multi-tissue…
