Daheng broilers feather rate phenotypes. (A) Chicken early-feathering phenotype. (B) Chicken late-feathering phenotype. One-day-old chicks with primary feathers longer than primary-covert feathers by more than 2 mm were identified with the EF, otherwise, they would be identified with the LF.
Base composition of Reads. (A) Quality score distribution over all sequences. (B). Sequence content across all bases.
SNP detection and annotation.
Manhattan plots for genome-wide association study of the feather rate of Daheng broilers. In the Manhattan plots, the dashed lines represent the 5% chromosome-wide (suggestive) Bonferroni-corrected thresholds.
The GO analysis with candidate genes between early-feathering and late-feathering Daheng broilers.
