Selection signature analysis using whole genome resequencing data reveals candidate genes for white plumage color in Korean native ducks by Jaewon Kim, Jaegwon Kim, Eunjin Cho, Sunghyun Cho, Minjun Kim, Won-Hyung Chung, Jung-Woo Choi, Hyo Jun Choo, Jun Heon Lee

“…To detect distinct genomic regions between KND populations with different plumage colors, we analyzed three types of selection signature analysis: the fixation index (Fst), nucleotide diversity(π), and cross-population extended haplotype heterozygosity (XP-EHH). Results Population structure analysis showed that although KNDC and KNDW are distinct from PKD, they form a single group sharing a common ancestor. …”
