Whole-genome resequencing of red junglefowl and indigenous village chicken reveal new insights on the genome dynamics of the species

The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six to one. The genetic control for production traits have been well studied in commercial chicken, but the selection pressures underlying uniq...
