Genetic diversity in populations of Russian White, Pushkin and Cornish chickens on the basis of homozygous areas analysis

A comparative study of the distribution of homozygous regions in the gene pool breeds of chickens was carried out to identify the relationship between the selection results and productivity traits. New data on the genetic architecture of the distribution of homozygous regions in the populations of the Russian White, Cornish and Pushkin breeds have been obtained. The obtained new knowledge about the genes associated with the productivity of birds contributes to a wider monitoring of populations and implementation in the selection and genetic process.
