Fujian Muscovy duck is a well-known meat waterfowl in Fujian Province due to its high meat production, superior breeding potential, and strong resistance. To fully explore the genetic characteristics of these advantages, Fujian black Muscovy duck and white Muscovy duck were used for whole-genome re-sequencing and transcriptome analyses. Population structure analysis showed significant differentiation between the two feather strains. Runs of homozygosity analysis indicated a stronger artificial influence on the black-feathered strain, with ROH island genes notably enriched in muscle tissue-related terms and pathways. Selective sweep and transcriptome analysis revealed a significant enrichment of genes linked to muscle tissue and muscle fiber-related terms and pathways. Key candidate genes identified, such as MEF2C, MYOZ2, and METTL21C, are believed to play crucial roles in meat production in Fujian Muscovy duck. This study offers a new perspective on improving meat production in Fujian Muscovy duck, which can benefit breeding strategies and production management.
