Abstract excerpt
Changes in gene expression in response to selection were studied by comparing microarray expression profiles among a population of domestic chickens selected for high feather pecking (FP) with a control population and a population selected for low FP. No transcripts showed significant differences among populations with respect to mean expression scores, but numerous transcripts showed reduced variance in...
