Identification of candidate genes and mutations in QTL regions for immune responses in chicken.

abstract：:The crest in chicken consists of elongated and upraised feathers, as seen in various breeds such as the Silkie chicken. Recently, the still unknown causative mutation for the crest phenotype was assigned to chromosome 33 and an ectopic expression of HOXC8 was shown. The aim this study was to evaluate whether the crest...
