Identifying molecular pathways and candidate genes associated with knob traits by transcriptome analysis in the goose (Anser cygnoides)

Abstract Anser cygnoides has a spherical crest on the beak roof, which is described as knob. However, the mechanisms affecting knob morphology are unclear. Here, we investigated the phenotypic characteristics and molecular basis of knob-size differences in Yangzhou geese. Anatomically, the knob was...
