From: Partial duplication of the PRLR and SPEF2 genes at the late feathering locus in chicken
Difference in the Ct values of homozygous early feathering (EF), heterozygous late feathering (LF), and homozygous LF animals. A) Comparison of K locus components on the Z chromosomes of different genotypes. The red striped box and blue striped box indicate the duplicated blocks of genetic sequence. The dark blue line is marker STS_control and the green line is marker STS_break. B) The theoretical curves of the qPCR. In k+/k+ animals the difference between Ct (Break) and Ct (Control) will be -Ct (Control). For k+/K animals the theoretical difference will be 1 Cycle. For K/K animals the difference will be 0.
