Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic basis of dwarfism in chickens, particularly in bantam chickens, is of significant interest as it provides insights into the mechanisms that underlie body size variation and growth. To better understand how gene expression changes contribute to the reduced growth in bantam chickens, we generated RNA-seq data derived from chicken embryos of varying sizes. These embryos were sampled at two...
