Open AccessA heterophil/lymphocyte-selected population reveals the phosphatase PTPRJ is associated with immune defense in chickens
Quantification of leukocyte profiles is among the simplest measures of animal immune function. However, the relationship between H/L ratio and innate immunity and the measure’s utility as an index for heteroph...

Open AccessA significant quantitative trait locus on chromosome Z and its impact on egg production traits in seven maternal lines of meat-type chicken
Egg production is economically important in the meat-type chicken industry. To better understand the molecular genetic mechanism of egg production in meat-type chicken, genetic parameter estimation, genome-wid...

Open AccessIdentification of QTL regions and candidate genes for growth and feed efficiency in broilers
Feed accounts for about 70% of the total cost of poultry meat production. Residual feed intake (RFI) has become the preferred measure of feed efficiency because it is phenotypically independent of growth rate ...

Open AccessChicken gga-miR-1306-5p targets Tollip and plays an important role in host response against Salmonella enteritidis infection
Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in inflammatory response and immune regulation following pathogen invasion. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the roles played by Gallus...

Open AccessIntramuscular preadipocytes impede differentiation and promote lipid deposition of muscle satellite cells in chickens
Skeletal muscle satellite cells (MSC) are crucial for postnatal growth and regeneration of skeletal muscle. An interaction exists between MSC and intramuscular preadipocytes (IMPA). This study is the first to ...

Open AccessDecreased testosterone levels after caponization leads to abdominal fat deposition in chickens
Caponization results in reduced androgen levels, which leads to abdominal fat accumulation in capons. In this study, we sought to understand the molecular mechanisms behind this fat accumulation.

Open AccessUncovering the embryonic development-related proteome and metabolome signatures in breast muscle and intramuscular fat of fast-and slow-growing chickens
Skeletal muscle development is closely linked to meat production and its quality. This study is the first to quantify the proteomes and metabolomes of breast muscle in two distinct chicken breeds at embryonic ...

Open AccessEffects of fasting and refeeding on expression of MAFbx and MuRF1 in chick skeletal muscle
The present study investigated the effects of fasting and refeeding on the expression of proteasome-related genes and their downstream targets in the skeletal muscles of chicks. Seven-day-old chicks were faste...
