Genome-wide analyses reveal intricate genetic mechanisms underlying egg production efficiency in chickens

Abstract Background Compared to many other vertebrates, chickens have a high reproductive efficiency in terms of egg production. The classic traits for evaluating egg-laying performance include age at first egg, egg number, clutch size, laying rate, etc. These egg-laying traits were not specifically...
