Genome-wide association study reveals novel loci associated with body size and carcass yields in Pekin ducks.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Short-read resequencing of genomes produces abundant information of the genetic variation of individuals. Due to their numerous nature, these variants are rarely exhaustively validated. Furthermore, low levels of undetected variant miscalling will have a systematic and disproportionate impact on the interpre...
