Dynamic transcriptome profiling towards understanding the morphogenesis and development of diverse feather in domestic duck

Abstract Background Feathers with complex and fine structure are hallmark avian integument appendages, which have contributed significantly to the survival and breeding for birds. Here, we aimed to explore the differentiation, morphogenesis and development of diverse feathers in the domestic duck. R...
