Abstract:Deer antlers are organs of bone and have an extremely rapid growth rate. Thus far, the molecular mechanism underlying rapid antler growth has not been properly elucidated, and key genes driving this growth rate have not been fully identified. In this study, based on the newly assembled high-quality sika deer genome, we conducted an integrated analysis of genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) using genome resequencing data from our previous GWAS, with w… Show more
