Project description:Osteoporosis is a major problem for the laying hen industry due to welfare issues and economic losses related to bone fractures. The objective of this research was to better understand genetic influences on bone integrity by comparing gene expression profiles from bone marrow of chickens expressing phenotypic differences for a number of bone characteristics. Global expression profiles of genes included on the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) Chicken 13K array were assessed in broiler and layer chickens. Keywords: Gene expression comparison between two chicken lines at 15 weeks of age

Project description:RNA sequencing analysis of abdominal adipose tissue in 7 week old juvenile broiler chickens divergently selected for abdominal fatness or leanness
Project description:RNA sequencing analysis of abdominal adipose tissue in 7 week old juvenile broiler chickens divergently selected for high or low body weight
Project description:A study of a marked QTL affecting body weight segregating in an inter-cross of a broiler and layer chickens. QTL genotypes were inferred on flanking markers and RNA from breast tissue of birds with alternative QTL genotypes was hybridized onto microarrays
