GO-terms and functional genomic landscape of colour-associated
loci
The genome was utilized to characterize the functional genomic landscape
of colour-associated candidate loci. Briefly, the contigs where
candidate loci were located were extracted from the draft assembly and
positionally inspected in relation to annotated genes. Function,
metabolic pathways, and description of specific GO terms of genes
flanking candidate loci was retrieved from the Panther database HMM
library Version 17.0 (http://www.pantherdb.org/) and the AnimalQTL
database in Ensembl genome browser (https://www.ensembl.org) all
in reference to annotations in the Gallus gallus genome
(GCA_016699485.1).
