Project description:Selective breeding in laying hens has resulted in a laying rate of approximately one egg per day during their first year. Due to variability within a flock, this rate declines after the first year, leading producers to cull hens. The aim of this study was to identify physiological and molecular differences between persistent (PL, egg-laying rate = 100%) and non-persistent layers (NPL, egg-laying rate ≤ 82%) after the first year. Forty laying hens were reared from 16 to 76 weeks of age and a subset was maintained until 96 weeks. Throughout the study, egg-laying data were recorded daily. At 76 weeks, ovarian tissue was collected from PL (n=3) and NPL (n=4) hens for RNA-sequencing. Ovarian RNA-sequencing analysis revealed 279 differentially expressed genes between PL and NPL hens and analysis predicted the estrogen receptor as an upstream regulator. A greater understanding of the physiology and molecular patterns of persistent hens could enhance production efficiency and provide insights into ovarian aging in women.

Project description:Calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) are essential micronutrients that are linked to a wide set of biological processes. In laying hens there is still uncertainty about the optimal Ca/P ratio in feed and further strategies for the reliable mineral restriction in poultry diets are required. The dataset is based on Lohmann Selected Leghorn (LSL) and Lohmann Brown (LB) laying hens sampled at peak performance. The experimental design comprises four dietary groups differed in Ca (recommended vs. 15 % reduction) and mineral P (adequate vs. 20 % reduction) levels; 1) control diet (Con; Ca=34.4g/kg, P=5.3 g/kg and Ca/P ratio=7.45), 2) Low Ca and P diet (LCaP), 3) low Ca diet (LCa), and low P diet (LP). Jejunal transcriptome profiles were assessed by mRNA sequencing in a total of 80 animals (10 hens per experimental group for each laying line) at sampling age of 31 weeks) to approximate the consequences of variable Ca and P supply.

Project description:Purpose: With the advent of Next-generation sequencing (NGS), several novel genes/proteins and cellular pathways in wide variety of tissues has been discovered. The aim of this study are to perform uterine transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to determine differently expressed genes in laying and non-laying hens and to further validate the expression of candidate genes using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) in laying, non-laying and molting hens. Methods: Uterine mRNA profiles of 35-60 weeks-old laying and non-laying hens, three each, were generated with NextSeq 500 sequencer in single-end mode with a read length of 1x76 bp. Raw sequencing reads were cleaned and trimmmed with Prinseq tool and good reads were aligned against the chicken reference gemone (Galgal 5.0) in Array Studio. Differential gene expression analysis was performed by the DESeq2 algorithm as implemented in Array Studio. The genes with at least two-fold change (FC) and Benjamini and Hochberg q-value < 0.05 were called differentially expressed. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 32 million reads from layers and 28 million reads from non-layers to the chicken genome. A total of 19,152 gene transcripts were annotated from Ensembl alignment which represents 50.24% of the chicken genome assembly. Differential gene expression analysis showed 616 were differentially expressed between layer and non-layer hens. 229 DEGs were significantly up-regulated and 286 were significantly down-regulated in the laying hens when compared to the non-laying hens. Twelve candiate genes, linked to calcium remodeling, were identified by gene function analysis and validated using qPCR. MEPE, CALCB, OTOP2, STC2 and ATP2C2 were confirmed to be highly expressed in laying hens as compared to molting and non-laying hens. RNA-seq and qPCR data for relative gene expression were highly correlated (R2 =0.99). Conclusions: Our study reports the expression of four novel genes that are speculated to transport calcium ions across the uterine epithellium for eggshell mineralization. These genes can be used as quantitative basis of selecting hens with an improved eggshell quality.

Project description:Purpose: With the advent of Next-generation sequencing (NGS), several novel genes/proteins and cellular pathways in wide varitey of tissues has discovered. The aim of this study are to perform transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of magnum to determine differently expressed genes in laying and non-laying hens and to further validate the expression of candidate genes using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) in laying, non-laying and molting hens. Methods: Magnum mRNA profiles of 35-60 weeks-old laying and non-laying hens, three each, were generated with NextSeq 500 sequencer in single-end mode with a read length of 1x76 bp. Raw sequencing reads were cleaned and trimmmed with Prinseq tool and good reads were aligned against the chicken reference gemone (Galgal 5.0) in Array Studio. Differential gene expression analysis was performed by the DESeq2 algorithm as implemented in Array Studio. The genes with at least three-fold change (FC) and Benjamini and Hochberg q-value < 0.05 were called differentially expressed. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30.5 million reads from layers and 33.4 million reads from non-layers to the chicken genome. A total of 19,152 gene transcripts were annotated from Ensembl alignment which represents 50.24% of the chicken genome assembly. Differential gene expression analysis showed 540 were differentially expressed between layer and non-layer hens. 152 DEGs were significantly up-regulated and 388 were significantly down-regulated in the laying hens when compared to the non-laying hens. Conclusions: Our study reports the expression of several pre-discovered and many novel genes that may be involved in the transport of precurosor molecules for biosynthesis and secretion of the egg-white proteins in the magnum. These genes can be used as quantitative basis of selecting hens with an improved egg quality.
