Research Note: Combined analysis of BSA-seq based mapping and RNA-seq reveals candidate genes associated with sub-Columbian plumage in H line chickens.

ABSTRACT: Columbian coloration patterns in plumage are widespread phenomena in several standard breeds of poultry, such as the Columbian Plymouth Rock chicken. H line chicken plumage is generally a pure white except in the hackle, wing, and tail plumage, which coloration is very similar to the Columbian plumage pattern, but with the barring substituting for the black vertical striping. Thus, we refer to this plumage coloration as "sub-Columbian" pattern. However, the genetic basis of this phenotype remains unknown. Here, a F3 cross population between yellow plumage roosters and sub-Columbian plumage hens was constructed, for verifying sub-Columbian plumage was sex-linked dominant inheritance. To identify the candidate regions, F2 generation sub-Columbian plumage hens and yellow plumage hens with the
