Identification of Histone Deacetylase 2 as a Functional Gene for Skeletal Muscle Development in Chickens

A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) exposed histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) as a possible candidate gene for breast muscle weight in chickens. The present research has examined the possible role of HDAC2 in skeletal muscle development in chickens. Gene expression was measured by quantitati...
