Abstract

Plumage color is one of the most important traits characterizing chicken breeds. Black-boned chickens constitute a specific group of breeds with a unique phenotype. One of the representatives is the Indonesian Ayam Cemani. The extraordinary black phenotype results from a specific chromosomal rearrangement. We used complete CDS of crucial color-related gene
