Description
Liu Wei and co-authors report a 2025 study of black pigment in a Chinese chicken breed with black bones. In breeding, the depth of black tends to split apart when lines cross. The gene and chemical drivers of that pigment in early growth were not yet pinned down.
The team joined gene read data with chemical read data from the birds. Five compounds stood out as key varied chemicals, tied to paths that build the amino acids used in pigment. A set of 73 genes also shifted, among them two named candidates. The joint map aims to give breeders firm markers for selecting birds that keep the deep black trait.
