A set of high-quality pan-genomes would help identify important genes that are still
hidden/incomplete in bird reference genomes. In an attempt to address these issues, we …

Humans mostly obtain animal-based proteins through chicken meat and eggs since there
are no societal taboos. The modern chicken is most effective for producing affordable and …

Many lines of evidence indicate that red jungle fowl (RJF) is the primary ancestor of
domestic chickens. Although multiple versions of RJF (galgal2-galgal5 and GRCg6a) and …

Background The red junglefowl, the wild outgroup of domestic chickens, has historically
served as a reference for genomic studies of domestic chickens. These studies have …

Small-scale poultry production in Africa plays a significant role in alleviating malnutrition and
poverty in rural communities. Global climate change and infectious poultry disease such as …

Background Although multiple chicken genomes have been assembled and annotated, the
numbers of protein-coding genes in chicken genomes and their variation among breeds are …

Studies have investigated the potential of using farmed insects in animal feeds; however,
little research has been done using wild-caught insects for this purpose. Concerns about …

Gene atlases for livestock are steadily improving thanks to new genome assemblies and
new expression data improving the gene annotation. However, gene content varies across …

Based on next-generation sequencing, we established a repertoire of differentially
overexpressed genes (DoEGs) in eight adult chicken tissues: the testis, brain, lung, liver …

GEGA is a user-friendly tool designed to navigate through various genomic and functional
information related to an enriched gene atlas in chicken that integrates the gene catalogues …
