Article Synopsis
  • This study compares the global transcriptome of wing and pectoral tissues in Brazilian broilers and laying hens during early development, focusing on differences in gene expression.
  • The analysis identified distinct profiles of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with broilers showing more protease-encoding genes upregulated and receptors/ligands downregulated, linking to metabolic and hormonal processes.
  • Regulatory networks for cell cycle and differentiation indicate key genes like CCND1 and transcription factors that may influence the development of specific traits in these poultry lines.

Vertebrate skeletal muscle development and repair relies on the precise control of Wnt signaling. Dact1 (Dapper/Frodo) is an important modulator of Wnt signaling, interacting with key components of the various Wnt transduction pathways. Here, we characterized Dact1 mRNA and protein expression in chicken and mouse fetal muscles in vivo and during the differentiation of chick primary and mouse C2C12 myoblasts in vitro.
