A new molecular mechanism supports that blue-greenish egg color evolved independently across chicken breeds

Chicken blue-greenish coloration (BGC) was known as a classic Mendel trait caused by a retrovirus (EAV-HP) insertion in the SLCO1B3 gene. Lueyang black-boned chicken (LBC) BGC is light and varies continuously, implying that LBC BGC may be controlled by a new molecular mechanism. The aim of this stud...
