Gene ontology defines pre-post- hatch energy dynamics in the complexus muscle of broiler chickens.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chicken embryos emerge from their shell by the piercing movement of the hatching muscle. Although considered a key player during hatching, with activity that imposes a substantial metabolic demand, data are still limited. The study provides a bioenergetic and transcriptomic analyses during the pre-post-hatching period.

Methods

Weight and morphology alongside content determination of creatine and glycogen were analysed. Transcriptome identified differentially expressed genes and enriched biological processes associated with hatching muscle development, catabolism, and energy provision. Using gene set enrichment, we followed the dynamics of gene-sets involved in energy pathways of oxidative phosphorylation, protein catabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and glycoge
