Comparative Analysis of the Transcriptome of the Chicken Breast Muscle at Different Developmental Stages
gradually decreased with increasing age, indicating that their functions are universal in poultry muscle development. In summary, our findings revealed key regulatory genes that influence breast muscle development, offering candidate targets for marker-assisted selection in poultry breeding programs.
