Location of unique SNPs, micro-indels, and gaps identified by CA/NGS technologies within the candidate genes residing in the 176 kb CR.

AAll other unique SNPs (n = 155) are non-genic (not found within a gene).BAll other unique insertions (n = 8) are non-genic.CAll other unique deletions (n = 4) are non-genic.DAll other gaps (n = 77) are non-genic.EOne of the unique SNPs identified localizes to a human SLC30A5 exon; this exon is not present in chicken SLC30A5 but was still validated.FThis gap spans the 3′ UTR and last exon of SLC30A5.GOne of the gaps is located in the promoter region (just upstream (16 nt) of the 5′ UTR) of SLC30A5.HThese four SNPs are located within the 3′ UTR of CENPH.IThis gap spans the promoter region, 5′ UTR, and the first and second exons of CENPH.JThis gap spans the 5′ UTR and first exon of MRPS36.KOne of the gaps spans the 5′ UTR and a portion of the first exon of MRPS36.
