Transcriptomic analysis identifies hub genes involved in age-dependent abdominal fat development in chickens

Key Points

• Age-dependent changes in abdominal fat development are influenced by specific hub genes.
• Key findings include the identification of several hub genes that regulate fat accumulation over time.
• Observational analysis reveals significant variations in gene expression related to abdominal fat at different ages.
• Understanding these genetic pathways may help in developing strategies to manage fat development in poultry.
