The present application belongs to the technical field of
gene detection and
gene molecular breeding, and particularly relates to a meat duck whole
genome molecular probe combination based on
molecular phenotype screening, a 50K
gene chip and application thereof. The present application provides a
molecular probe combination of a marker site combination for meat duck whole
genome selection and a gene
chip, which simultaneously covers 7 representative meat duck breeds, 71 economic traits, has rich polymorphism in a meat duck
population, is more targeted, and has lower detection cost and faster speed compared to high-
throughput sequencing. The present application mines relevant sites for meat duck growth, feed efficiency, slaughter,
reproduction, egg quality and various types of molecular phenotypes, designs a breeding
chip, has higher selection accuracy compared to high-
throughput sequencing technology, has high breeding value, can be widely applied to
genotype detection of meat duck breeding, and has a pioneering significance for meat duck
genome selection breeding.
