Weighted gene co-expression network analysis identifies molecular pathways and hub genes involved in broiler White Striping and Wooden Breast myopathies

Abstract In recent years, the poultry industry has experienced an increased incidence of myopathies affecting breasts of fast-growing broilers, such as White Striping (WS) and Wooden Breast (WB) defects. To explore the molecular mechanisms and genes involved in WS and WB onset, we decided to perform...
