Exploring differentially expressed key genes related to development of follicle by RNA-seq in Peking ducks (Anas Platyrhynchos).

ABSTRACT: Duck follicles enter different reproductive phases throughout life, and follicle gene expression patterns differ according to these phases. In particular, differentially expressed genes and related to development of follicle (mRNAs) play an important role to explore the key genes in this process; however, the expression profiles of these genes remain unclear. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was used to investigate the expression levels of duck ovarian genes, and comparative transcriptional analysis was carried out to identify differential genes, and cluster them into groups and function identification. The results showed differential expression of 593 coding genes between young and laying ducks, and of 518 coding genes between laying and old ducks. In further GO analysis, 35 genes
