Selection for and against fearfulness in chicken (Gallus gallus) alter transcriptome profiles in only a few generations
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Domesticated animals all show the same patterns regarding phenotypic traits and behaviour, collectively known as the domestic phenotype. All domestic chicken come from the red junglefowl. By keeping three separate populations of junglefowl and selecting for high, low or intermediate fear responses towards humans, the goal is to in the low fear group start to unlock domestic phenotypes.
