Hepatic Transcriptional Profiling of Hatchling Chicks and Market-age Broiler Chickens during Fasting and Re-feeding

ABSTRACT: This study integrates global transcriptional profiling and the metabolic perturbation induced by fasting and re-feeding. Genetic control of growth and development should be revealed by systematic modeling of metabolic and regulatory pathways. Chicken oligo arrays were used for transcriptional profiling in two time-course experiments. Two critical developmental stages were chosen: immediately after hatchling (Wk1) and prior to marketing of broiler chickens (Wk6). Only male chickens were used to simplify the experimental design. A RNA reference design was employed for microarray hybridization using two reference RNA pools derived from all individuals sampled at either Wk1 or Wk6. Microarray data was acquired using GenePix Pro software. Loess normalization and a linear mixed model were applie
