Transcriptomic and metabolomic characterization of post-hatch metabolic reprogramming during hepatic development in the chicken

Abstract Background Artificial selection of modern meat-producing chickens (broilers) for production characteristics has led to dramatic changes in phenotype, yet the impact of this selection on metabolic and molecular mechanisms is poorly understood. The first 3 weeks post-hatch represent a critica...
