Genetic variations for the eggshell crystal structure revealed by genome-wide association study in chickens

BACKGROUND: Eggshell is a bio-ceramic material comprising columnar calcite (CaCO(3)) crystals and organic proteinaceous matrix. The size, shape and orientation of the CaCO(3) crystals influence the microstructural properties of chicken eggshells. However, the genetic architecture underlying eggshell...
