Project description:Even though feather pecking (FP) in laying hens has been extensively studied, a good solution to prevent chickens from this behavior under commercial circumstances has not been found. Selection against FP behavior is possible, but for a more effective selection across different populations, it is necessary to characterize the genetic mechanism associated with this behavior. In this study, we use a high FP selection line, which has been selected for 8 generations. We present evidence of the presence of a major dominant allele affecting the FP behavior by using an argument based on the presence of mixture in the distribution of the observed FP and by studying the evolution of the proportion of very high FP along the sequence of 8 generations. This hypothesis is further supported by the fact that the gene transcription profile of the birds performing high FP differs from the profile of the other birds performing FP (456 genes differentially expressed from a total of 14,077 investigated genes). Keywords: severe feather pecking , selection , modeling , inheritance pattern From each selection line (high feather pecking line, low feather pecking line and control line) 60 animals were randomly selected. Within each line the birds were randomly assigned to a cage of 20. The cages were kept in a randomized block design. Number of samples analyzed in total: 179 (60 high feather pecking line, 60 low feather pecking line, 59 control line samples. Common reference design using total-RNA purified from brain from a single F1 cross between the high and low feather pecking line as reference.

Project description:Feather pecking is a major welfare problem in egg production. It may be caused by genetic, physiological and environmental factors. The main aim of this study was to uncover variability in gene expression between individuals from high (HFP) and for low feather pecking (LFP) line using Chicken Gene Expression Microarrays (Agilent Technologies). Samples were assorted to two groups, each containing 9 biological replicates from high feather pecking (HFP) and low feather pecking (LFP) line.

Project description:Our study investigated the differences of uterine transcriptome in laying hen holding a high or low breaking strength shell. The eggshell calcification periods are divided into three periods, namely initiation, growth and termination periods respectively. The large differences in the transcriptome proved that the initiation period of calcification determine eggshell strength.

Project description:A total of 565 miRNAs annotated in miRBase 20.0 were identified to be expressed in the liver of hen by high-throughput sequencing three biological reduplication libraries in juvenile and egg-laying hens, respectively. Compared with juvenile hen, 80 miRNAs (67 down-regulated and 13 up-regulated) were verified to be significant differential expression (SDE) in egg-laying physiological stage. Among these, miR-22-3p has the highest abundant expression, and miR-146b-5p has the highest fold-change. Additionally, 19 of the 71 novel miRNAs was significantly expressed. Furthermore, 648 putative target genes of the SDE miRNAs were obtained, and among these, FADS1, FADS2, ELOVL6, ACSL5, etc which are lipid metabolism related critical regulators are targeted by some SDE miRNAs. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses to the putative target genes of all the SDE miRNAs showed significantly enriched in Steroid biosynthesis, Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and PPAR signaling pathway (P ≤ 0.05). Meanwhile, GO terms are also significantly enriched in lipid related biological processes.

Project description:In this study, RNA-Seq technology was adopted to investigate the differences in expression profiles of the hepatic lipid metabolism-related genes and the associated pathways between juvenile and laying hens. RNA-Seq analysis was carried out to estimate total RNA harvested from the liver of juvenile hens (n = 3) and laying hens (n = 3). Compared with juvenile hens, 2574 differentially expressed (DE) genes (1487 down and 1087 up) with P ≤ 0.05 were obtained, and 955 of these genes were significantly DE (SDE) at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05 and fold-change ≥ 2 in laying hens. There were 198 SDE novel genes (107 down-regulated and 91 up-regulated) (FDR ≤ 0.05) that were obtained from the transcriptome, and most of them were highly expressed. Moreover, 332 SDE isoforms were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis showed that SDE genes were significantly associated with steroid biosynthesis, PPAR signaling pathway, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, glycerophospholipid metabolism, three amino acid pathways, and pyruvate metabolism (P ≤ 0.05). The top significantly enriched GO terms included lipid biosynthesis, cholesterol and sterol metabolic, and oxidation reduction suggesting the principal lipogenesis in the liver of laying hens. This study suggests that the major changes at the level of transcriptome in laying hen liver are closely related to fat metabolism. Some highly differentially expressed uncharacterized novel genes and alternative splicing isoforms detected might also take part in lipid metabolism, though it needs investigation. Therefore, this study provides valuable information of mRNA of chicken liver, and deeper functional investigations on the mRNAs could help explore or provide new insights into molecular networks of lipid metabolism in chicken liver.
