High-throughput transcriptome analysis reveals potentially important relationships between lncRNAs and genes in broilers affected by Valgus-varus Deformity (Gallus gallus).

Abstract excerpt

Valgus-varus Deformity (VVD) is an outward or inward deviation of the tibiotarsus or tarsometatarsus, which results in physical distress of chickens and economic loss in poultry industry. While the etiology and pathogenesis of VVD at the molecular level are still not fully understood so far. Here, based on a case/control design with VVD birds and normal birds, we identified genes and lncRNAs which associated with...
