Whole Genome Resequencing Revealed the Genetic Relationship and Selected Regions among Baicheng-You, Beijing-You, and European-Origin Broilers.

ABSTRACT: As the only two You-chicken breeds in China, Baicheng-You (BCY) and Beijing-You (BJY) chickens are famous for their good meat quality. However, so far, the molecular basis of germplasm of the two You-chicken breeds is not yet clear. The genetic relationship among BCY, BJY, and European-origin broilers (BRs) was analyzed using whole genome resequencing data to contribute to this issue. A total of 18,852,372 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were obtained in this study. After quality control, 8,207,242 SNPs were applied to subsequent analysis. The data indicated that BJY chickens possessed distant distance with BRs (genetic differentiation coefficient (F_ST) = 0.1681) and BCY (F_ST = 0.1231), respectively, while BCY and BRs had a closer relationship (
