Identification of candidate genes and regulatory factors related to growth rate through hypothalamus transcriptome analyses in broiler chickens

Abstract Background Intensive selection for growth rate (GR) in broiler chickens carries negative after-effects, such as aberrations in skeletal development and the immune system, heart failure, and deterioration of meat quality. In Poland, fast-growing chicken populations are highly non-uniform in...
