| Description |
The Kunming Institute of Zoology - Chinese Academy of Sciences (KIZ, CAS) has been leading a two-phase international collaborative project to improve our current knowledge on chicken genomics. Through international collaboration, we have completed the phase one project in generating around 1000 genomes of chickens and wild junglefowls sampled from East Eurasia where the putative center of chicken domestication is located. The population genomic analyses revealed a remarkably complex picture of the early domestication and subsequent dispersal of chickens in this region. In the phase two project, the topic will be the genomic changes of chickens during their global dispersal out of the East Eurasia. We plan to generate additional genomes of different indigenous populations/ecotypes, improved lines, and fancy chickens from Asia, Africa and Europe. The final dataset of around 2000 genomes will be important resources for depth studies on chicken demographic trajectory, dating and wide geographic spread, as well as the genetic mechanisms underlying their breeding and response to natural/artificial selection for rapid adaptation to diversified environmental, climatic and management conditions. |
