Review of whole genome sequencing technology on the selected signals of local chickens

Abstract

Genome sequencing has become one of the most rapid and effective methods to study molecular breeding of animals and plants. Chickens and chicken products are the necessary production for people and play an important role in our lives. Chickens are the first species of birds to get the whole genome sequence. This paper reviewed the research situation of domestic chicken reference genome and whole genome sequencing, which revealed the selective genes of special traits of local chicken breeds. It is believed that with the development of science and technology, whole genome sequencing combined with data from other sources can continuously promote the progress of this discipline.
