Gene Expression in the Brains of Two Lines of Chicken Divergently Selected for High and Low Body Weight

Gene Expression in the Brains of Two Lines of Chicken Divergently Selected for High and Low Body Weight

Artificial divergent selection of chickens for high and low body weight at 8 weeks of age has produced two lines: the high (HWS) and low (LWS) body weight chicken lines. In addition to the difference in body weight, the lines show extreme differences in feeding behaviour and body composition. The ai...
