TL;DR: The effect of a multiallelic indel in the CDKN3 gene on the economic traits of chickens, and this indel was significantly associated with growth and carcass traits in chickens.

TL;DR: In-depth analyses showed that IMFNCR acts as a ceRNA to sequester miR-128-3p andMiR-27b-3P, leading to heightened PPARG expression, and thus promotes intramuscular adipocyte differentiation, and may contribute to a more thorough understanding of chicken IMF deposition and the improvement of poultry meat quality.

TL;DR: The chicken pan-genome was constructed using 664 individuals, which identified an additional ∼66.5 mb sequences that are absent from the reference genome (GRCg6a) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This work provides the first study of the expression patterns of hepatic micro RNAs between 20- and 30-week old hens, and may serve as a fundamental resource for understanding the detailed functions of microRNAs in the molecular regulatory systems of lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: A combined analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data suggests that the candidate gene related to the black-bone trait, EDN3, might interact with the upstream ncRNA LOC101747896 to generate black skin color during melanogenesis.
