Identification of candidate gonadal sex differentiation genes in the chicken embryo using RNA-seq
16 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite some advances in recent years, the genetic control of gonadal sex differentiation during embryogenesis is still not completely understood. To identify new candidate genes involved in ovary and testis development, RNA-seq was used to define the transcriptome of embryonic chicken gonads at the onset of sexual differentiation (day 6.0/stage 29). RESULTS: RNA-seq revealed more than 1000 genes that...
