...hisms (SNPs) markers for early-feathering (EF) and late-feathering (LF) phenotypes in Daheng broilers. A total of 11626 high-quality SNPs were identified, and the different positions and numbers of SNPs were counted. On this basis, genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis was performed to find molecular genetic markers significantly related to this trait. Candidate genes such as TBC1D22A, PRSS23 and HOXD gene families that may be related to feather growth...
