Abstract excerpt
Although excessive adiposity has become a major drawback in meat type chicken production, few of the genes involved in this process have been characterized so far. In order to identify putative genes involved in adiposity, we performed differential display analysis of RNAs extracted from the liver of divergently selected lean and fat chickens. Twenty-six differential products were selected and purified by single...
