| Abstract |
Selective breeding for genetic improvement is expected to leave distinctive selection signatures within genomes. The identification of selection signatures can help to elucidate the mechanisms of selection and accelerate genetic improvement. Fighting chickens have undergone extensive artificial selection, resulting in modifications to their morphology, physiology and behavior compared to wild species. Comparing the genomes of fighting chickens and wild species offers a unique opportunity for identifying signatures of artificial selection. We identified selection signals in 100-kb windows sliding in 10-kb steps by using two approaches: the pooled heterozygosity [Formula: see text] and the fixation index [Formula: see text] between Xishuangbanna fighting chicken (YNLC) and Red Jungle Fowl. A total of 413 candidate genes were found to be putatively under selection in YNLC. These genes were related to traits such as growth, disease resistance, aggressive behavior and energy metabolism, as well as the morphogenesis and homeostasis of many tissues and organs. This study reveals mechanisms and targets of artificial selection, which will contribute to improve our knowledge about the evolution of fighting chickens and facilitate future quantitative trait loci mapping. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 September 2021.
All research outputs
#2,655,359
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Genetics Selection Evolution
#40
of 822 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#44,480
of 349,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Genetics Selection Evolution
#1
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 822 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
