Abstract excerpt
Early sex determination and genotyping of chicken embryos is crucial for ethical and resource-efficient animal research. We developed a reproducible workflow using whole genome amplification combined (WGA) with Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) and standard endpoint PCR to perform in ovo sexing and genotyping from embryonic day 4 (ED4) to ED10. Across four study phases involving various chicken...
