Chicken muscle mitochondrial content appears co-ordinately regulated and is associated with performance phenotypes

Mitochondrial content is a fundamental cellular bioenergetic phenotype. Previous work has hypothesised possible links between variation in muscle mitochondrial content and animal performance. However, no population screens have been performed in any production species. Here, we have designed a high...
