Regulatory signatures involved in the cell cycle pathway contribute to egg production heterosis in chicken
Our study characterized the dynamic profile of genome-wide gene expression in ovary and highlighted the role of dominant expression of cell cycle pathway genes in heterosis. These findings provided new insights for the molecular mechanism of egg production heterosis, which would facilitate the rational choice of suitable parents for producing crossbred chickens with higher egg production.
