Characterization of Copy Number Variation’s Potential Role in Marek’s Disease

Characterization of Copy Number Variation’s Potential Role in Marek’s Disease

Marek’s Disease (MD) is a highly contagious pathogenic and oncogenic disease primarily affecting chickens. Chicken Lines 63 and 72, as well as their recombinant congenic strains (RCS) with varied susceptibility to MD, are ideal models to study the complex mechanisms of genetic resistance to MD. In t...
