A complex structural variation on chromosome 27 leads to the ectopic expression of hoxb8 and the muffs and beard phenotype in chickens

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Ying Guo and collaborators from the State Key Laboratory for Agro-Biotechnology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China, National have published the research work: A Complex Structural Variation on Chromosome 27 Leads to the Ectopic Expression of HOXB8 and the Muffs and Beard Phenotype in Chickens, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show that this phenotype is associated with genomic variant that leads to an ectopic expression of HOXB8 in the facial skin during feather development. This study explores the genetics of the Muffs and beard phenotype (Mb) (Fig 1) in chickens, which consist . . .
