Abstract excerpt
Methylation is an epigenetic modification of DNA affecting gene expression without changing the structure of nucleotides. It plays a crucial role in the embryonic and post-embryonic development of living organisms. Methylation level is tissue and species-specific and changes with age. The study was aimed at identifying the methylation of the CDKN2B gene situated at locus bar in Polbar chickens on the 6th and 18th...
