Unlocking the genetic code: a comprehensive Genome-Wide association study and gene set enrichment analysis of cell-mediated immunity in chickens
The post-GWAS analysis in this study led to the identification of key genes that regulate the biological processes of cellular immunity in chickens. Therefore, selecting birds that excel in expressing such genes can improve immunity in chickens.
