Transcriptomic analysis reveals differentially expressed genes associated with meat quality in Chinese Dagu chicken and AA+ broiler roosters
Our findings show that the meat quality of dual-purpose breeds (Chinese Dagu chicken) is higher than meat-type (AA<sup>+</sup> broiler), which may be related to the DEGs regulating muscle development and metabolism. Our findings also provide transcriptomic insights for a comparative analysis of molecular mechanisms underlying muscle development between the two breeds, and have practical implications for the improvement of chicken breeding practices.
