Transcriptome analysis reveals differentially expressed genes associated with high rates of egg production in chicken hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To identify the key regulatory genes and pathways involved in chicken high egg productivon in HPG axis. Methods: A total of 856 Chinese Luhua chicken was raised in poultry breeding farm of Sichuan Agricultural University, the highest two hundred and the lowest two hundred chicken egg production were considered as high egg production (HEP) and low egg production (LEP) according to the total egg number at 300 days of age, respectively, integrated with RNA-seq sequencing of samples of HPG axis (hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovary) from three HEP and three LEP chickens at 300 days of age. Results: A total 86.7 Gb RNA-seq sequences were generated, and with each library averaged 5.1 Gb. Conclusions: These important data might improve our understanding of reproductive biology of Luhua chicken by providing comprehensive gene expression information at transcriptional level. We indicate that our approach will contribute to the isolation of effective molecular markers that can be used in genetic breeding programs in Chinese domestic Luhua chicken.
