Gallus gallus Transcriptome or Gene expression

In the experiment, we took a chinese chicken with different body weights at 300 days as the research subjects. The chickens were divided into fast- and slow-growing groups (high body weight and low body weight). We selected leg muscles after slaughtering and used then for RNA-seq. Finally, we screened differentially expressed genes and the corresponding enriched pathways related to growth through a bioinformatics analysis. The results provide a theoretical foundation for revealing the molecular mechanism of the growth for chickens and improving the production performance of the Jinghai yellow chicken.
