Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling reveals sex-specific regulation of breast muscle development during sexual maturation in Huanglang chicken
Key Points
Breast muscle development occurs differently based on sex during sexual maturation in chickens, revealing distinct biological pathways.
Significant differences were observed in metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles, with unique metrics for males and females.
Analysis involved comprehensive profiling of metabolites and transcripts in Huanglang chickens during maturation.
Findings highlight the importance of sex-specific regulation, suggesting avenues for enhancing poultry development through targeted nutritional strategies.
