Distinct genes and pathways associated with transcriptome differences in early cardiac development between fast- and slow-growing broilers.
Modern fast-growing broilers are susceptible to cardiac dysfunctions because their relatively small hearts cannot adequately meet the increased need of pumping blood through a large body mass. To improve cardiac health in broilers through breeding, we need to identify the genes and pathways that con...
